Taking Fear And Intimidation Out Of The Legal Process, And Arming You With The Facts

Traffic Crimes

In Virginia, traffic crimes are serious offenses that go beyond simple traffic infractions. They can result in criminal convictions, significant fines, imprisonment, and long-term consequences, such as a criminal record and the suspension of one’s driver’s license.

Traffic crimes may be punishable as either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the charge, either of which can lead to imprisonment. This is why taking traffic crimes seriously and contacting a traffic defense attorney is important.

At Hogan & Pritchard, PLLC, we specialize in criminal traffic defense in Northern Virginia. We provide expert legal representation for clients who must protect their criminal records and driving privileges and avoid jail time.

Below are some of the traffic crimes a driver is typically charged with:

1. Reckless Driving (Va. Code § 46.2-852)
2. Driving Under the Influence (DUI)/ Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) (Va. Code § 18.2-266
3. Hit and Run (Va. Code § 46.2-894)
4. Driving on a Suspended or Revoked License (Va. Code § 46.2-301)
5. Driving Without a License (Va. Code § 46.2-300)
6. Operating a Vehicle Without Insurance (Va. Code § 46.2-706)
7. Vehicle Homicide (Va. Code § 18.2-36.1)

A criminal traffic conviction will appear in your driving and criminal records. This can negatively affect your ability to find or maintain employment, recover driving privileges, or bring down insurance costs. It can also affect the immigration status of those temporarily residing in the country. Most importantly, it can affect your freedom, as all criminal traffic charges carry the possibility of jail time.
