Virginia DUI Attorney Bob Keefer serving Harrisonburg, Staunton, Woodstock and Luray

The Court fine for a first time Virginia DUI offense can cost you as much as $2,500.  Reckless driving convictions can result in up to 12 months in jail.    Reckless Driving tickets are considered criminal violations.  The state of Virginia is one of the toughest in the nation and many drivers do not realize how serious the consequences can be for such incidences. 

Did you know that being convicted of driving 20 mph over the speed limit will be reported on your record for the same amount of time as a manslaughter conviction?

Everyday mistakes are made by law enforcement and innocent people are given citations - some are even arrested.  If you do not know your rights, you can be convicted of an offense you may not have committed. 

You take a big risk stepping into a courthouse without legal representation.  In 2006 alone, there were 29,595 DUI convictions, according to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles.  How many of those convictions could have been avoided?  The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles runs a television advertisement stating that the direct and indirect costs of a first time Virginia DUI conviction is around $20,000.00.

Before you try to fight any allegation, contact an experienced Virginia traffic attorney who can help you with your DUI defense, reckless driving citation or traffic ticket.  Penalties can be severe, but with the assistance of Bob Keefer from the Keefer Law Firm, you can formulate a successful defense.

A DUI allegation can have more legal and technical defenses than a murder trial, which is why it is imperative that you always seek the advice of an experienced DUI attorney.  There are many steps involved in a DUI arrest and if a mistake is made during any of those steps, your lawyer may be able to use it in your defense.  DUI cases require an extensive understanding of scientific and legal processes.  Bob Keefer is not only trained on the scientific and legal aspects of DUI cases, he is also knowledgeable about the latest breath test equipment used to measure blood alcohol level.

Even safe and cautious drivers are at risk of being charged with reckless driving which is a criminal traffic offense.  A reckless driving conviction can have an effect on future employment, insurance and security clearance.  You can be accused of reckless driving for a variety of reasons, such as driving 81 mph in a 65 mph zone, failing to give a proper signal, passing a school bus or moving too fast for conditions, to name a few.  If you have been charged with reckless driving, contact an attorney immediately.  Sometimes, you can lessen the charge to “improper driving,” which is not a criminal offense.  Your reckless driving lawyer can help you with your defense by reviewing the factors involved in your case.

Paying a traffic ticket without contesting it shows admittance of guilt.  If you feel that you should not have received the citation, contact a traffic attorney to help you with your case.  There are many defenses available when fighting a traffic violation.  The Keefer Law Firm will evaluate the available evidence and put together your defense.  A traffic citation that has been dismissed will not go on your driving record.

Bob Keefer knows what judges, prosecutors and officers are willing to do and he will fight to win your case.  He is a member of the National College for DUI Defense, which has some of the most experienced DUI defense attorneys in the country.   Bob discovered that the evidentiary breath tester used in Virginia has been described as "dated, unstable and unreliable" in government documents generated by the Virginia Department of Forensic Science.  When fighting a DUI or other traffic related offense, it is important that you have someone with experience on your side.

If you have been charged with reckless driving, DUI or DWI, there may be technical defenses you are not even aware of.  The Keefer Law Firm, located in Harrisonburg, VA, will review your situation and advise you on the best way to advance your defense.
