Punishment and Sentences The attorneys at The Gordon Law Firm are experienced DUI lawyers who do not believe in giving misinformation or false hope. We shoot straight from the beginning. The severity of the consequences of a DUI conviction will depend on the unique circumstances surrounding your traffic stop, and your existing driving record. As you would expect, consequences for repeat offenses are more severe. In Virginia, your first two DUI convictions within a ten-year period are class one misdemeanors. A third is a class six felony. After looking at all of the facts in your case and your record, our DUI lawyers will give you an honest assessment of the consequences you may be facing and the defenses which can be used in your case to fight conviction or reduce your charges. First-time offenders can face up to a year in jail, a $2,500 fine and mandatory loss of driving privileges for 12 months. Under some circumstances the judge may grant you restricted driving privileges so that you can drive to work, school, day care and religious activities. Mandatory minimum jail sentences for a blood alcohol content (BAC) over 0.14, for first-time offenders, are: 0.15 – 0.20 five days Above 0.20 10 days If you are a first-time offender with a BAC below 0.14 it is unlikely that you will be sentenced to more than 48 hours in jail if the following also apply: There was no accident Your driving behavior was not egregious You had a valid driver’s license You have a decent driving record You were cooperative with the police officer Armed with the facts in your case, we may be able to negotiate a positive outcome or take your case to trial and secure a verdict of “not guilty”. We may be able to have the charge amended to reckless driving, which is still a class one misdemeanor but carries less severe consequences than DUI, or we may be able to get the charge dismissed before or after trial. There are many aspects of your arrest we may be able to challenge. Was the DUI Stop Justified? A police officer cannot stop you for DUI or DWI just because they feel like it. There must be reasonable suspicion. If a judge finds that the officer did not have reasonable suspicion, your case may be dismissed. Examples of driving behaviors that can constitute reasonable suspicion of DUI or DWI include: Driving too slowly Speeding Weaving, or failure to maintain lane Swerving Disobeying traffic signs Reacting poorly to roadway conditions If you have been stopped based on suspicion of DUI or for another traffic infraction, the officer looks for signs of intoxication including slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and the inability to follow directions. The Field Sobriety Test If you are stopped for or suspected of DUI, the officer can request that you take a field sobriety test (FST) and possibly more than one FST. FSTs are voluntary in Virginia, meaning that you have the right to refuse to take these tests. Refusal cannot be used against you in court. FSTs are used to establish probable cause for a DUI arrest. To learn more about DUI and your legal rights and how we can help you get on the road to the best possible outcome, please call the Gordon Law Firm, PC at 703-218-8416 or complete the form on this page for a free consultation. We welcome clients from Fairfax County, Loudoun County, and Prince William County, including Manassas, Leesburg and Fairfax.

• Reckless Driving Lawyers

  Reckless driving, in Virginia, is more than a traffic offense. It is a misdemeanor, meaning that a conviction goes on your permanent criminal record and can cost you your job and eligibility for future jobs. You can go to jail for up to a year and lose your driving privileges for up to six months. In addition to being on your criminal record for the rest of your life, it remains on your driving record for 11 years and costs you six points. You can be arrested on the spot for reckless driving in Virginia, but often, you are simply issued a ticket and sent on your way. Do not be lulled into complacency if you only received a ticket at the time of the stop. You are still facing potentially severe consequences. The Gordon Law Firm, PC, has helped more than 3,000 people with reckless driving charges. We offer a free phone or office consultation so you can talk to an experienced Virginia reckless driving attorney and find out more about the potential consequences and how you can achieve the best possible outcome. We help drivers negotiate reduced charges or penalties, and in some cases can have a case dismissed or secure a not guilty verdict. More than 90% of our cases are negotiated with the Commonwealth Attorney and successfully resolved without a trial. A Fairfax reckless driving charge can be handled differently than a reckless driving ticket in Loudoun County. Prince William County lawyers who help people with reckless driving charges have different advice for people who are accused of reckless driving in Fairfax. Through knowledge gained helping thousands of people like you charged with reckless driving in Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun County, Carlos Wall and Alex Gordon can provide their best advice tailored for your case. But, we also know that your reckless driving case is different because your situation is unique. The Gordon Law Firm will not treat you like you are just another number or case. We provide individualized advice to help you understand the process and work towards a successful result in your reckless driving charge in Fairfax, Prince William, or Loudoun County.

Our firm serves Northern Virginia, including Fairfax County, Loudoun County, and Prince William County, Arlington, Alexandria, Manassas, Leesburg and the City of Fairfax. Is Jail Time a Real Risk for Me? Jail time is a possibility for anyone accused of reckless driving, but the likelihood of receiving jail time depends on several factors including how fast you were going, or accused of going, and your previous driving record. Judges will typically hand out jail sentences to drivers who were traveling near or above 90 miles per hour. A poor driving record also increases your likelihood of going to jail. Those convicted of reckless driving at 85 mph or less rarely receive jail time. Challenging the Evidence Against You Police use several methods to determine speed. All are fallible. An officer may clock your speed using radar, LIDAR or by pacing you. The Gordon Law Firm has purchased radar and LIDAR devices commonly used by police in Northern Virginia so that we could gain a full understanding of how they work, their weaknesses, and the mistakes that can easily be made in operating them and effectively challenge the accuracy of their results when fighting for clients like you. Radar and LIDAR guns must be tested, calibrated and operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications or they can produce inaccurate results. Depending on the circumstances in your case, this can be crucial to having your charges dismissed or negotiating a favorable resolution without having to go to trial. Fighting for Your Best Outcome The Gordon Law Firm provides experienced, caring and effective legal counsel to those charged with reckless driving. We understand the pressure on you and will fight for your record and career. We do not give misinformation or false hope. A reckless driving charge can have very serious consequences, and the best outcome for you will depend on the circumstances in your case. Schedule Your Complimentary Reckless Driving Consultation Today A reckless driving conviction can have disproportionately severe consequences. The Gordon Law Firm gets people back on track so they can have a second chance.

Domestic Assault, Arrest and Protective Orders In Northern Virginia, it is law enforcement policy to arrest at least one person when responding to a domestic violence call. In the past, police were willing to let couples work things out on their own if the situation had calmed down and both parties were willing, but in too many cases tempers would flare again and the police would receive another call. If someone is arrested, the police will also obtain a protective order for the benefit of the party who was not arrested. This protective order lasts for 72 hours and is intended to provide a cooling-off period between the parties. This protective order, known as an emergency protective order, can be extended at a full hearing on the request. This extension can last up to two years. It is not uncommon for the attorneys at The Gordon Law Firm, PC to litigate both the assault charge and the protective order. We have extensive experience litigating both the criminal charge as well as the civil protective order. It is important to contact a lawyer right away so that we can defend your rights in both the criminal case and the civil protective order.

• Juvenile Law Attorneys

  Learning that your child has been charged with a crime can send you into a tailspin of worry and grief. Good kids make mistakes with no idea of the consequences that can follow, and many are simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and find themselves in trouble for crimes they were not even aware were taking place. Alex Gordon and Carlos Wall have successfully helped hundreds of children in the Virginia juvenile court system. With extensive experience serving clients in Loudoun, Prince William and Fairfax County Juvenile and Domestic Relations court, we can guide you and your child through this difficult time. For a parent, it can be frightening and confusing. There are many misconceptions about juvenile law, including the false belief that a conviction as a minor will not go on your child’s adult record. In Virginia, any child over the age of 14 can be treated as an adult if the crime is serious. And a felony at any age will stay on your child’s record forever if the charge is not reduced by the time they turn 21. Even juvenile traffic violations can have lasting consequences that could include probation, license suspension, and much higher insurance premiums that will extend well into the future. This is especially true if your teenager is charged with speeding or reckless driving in Fairfax, Prince William, or Loudoun County. There is a great deal an experienced attorney can do to help your child as they face this process. Perhaps the biggest benefit to hiring The Gordon Law Firm is the peace of mind that we can bring to both you and your child during this stressful time.

Fighting for Your Child’s Future The Gordon Law Firm represents juveniles for all types of traffic and criminal charges, including: Juvenile Traffic Defense involving Speeding Tickets Reckless Driving Traffic Accidents Driving Outside of Restrictions Curfew Violations Juvenile Marijuana and Drug Charges Juvenile Larceny Charges Treating Juveniles like Adults under the Certification Process Truancy Sexting and Solicitation by Juveniles Juvenile Assault Crimes Juvenile Internet Crimes School Discipline in Northern Virginia Our law firm's experience encompasses serious charges such as: DUI Sexual Assault Theft Robbery Car Jacking We also handle school discipline issues in cases where kids may be facing suspension or removal from the school system. Juvenile Convictions in Virginia Can Carry Adult Consequences In Virginia, anyone over the age of 14 can be charged as an adult if the crime is considered serious enough. If this happens, your child can be treated as an adult, go to adult prison and have the conviction on their adult criminal record. A felony conviction at an age will go on your child’s permanent adult record. Unless the proper steps are taken before you child turns 21, to try to have the charge reduced, your child can face a future of lost civil liberties as a result of a juvenile felony. This includes losing the right to possess firearms, being ineligible for certain types of jobs, losing college opportunities and much more. A misdemeanor, as a juvenile, can be used against your child to enhance penalties for criminal convictions as an adult. If a juvenile receives more than one traffic violation, the Department of Motor Vehicles can suspend their driving privileges. At the Gordon Law Firm, we believe that everyone deserves a second chance. We know that good kids make mistakes and that the Virginia legal system is very hard on juveniles, treating kids like adults, long before they are capable of making adult decisions. We will fight hard to protect your child’s future and secure the best outcome for your family.

• Misdemeanor & Felony Drug Charge Lawyers
