Virginia Beach DUI Attorney

The consequences of a driving under the influence (DUI) conviction in Virginia Beach are far reaching. In addition to the criminal penalties, which include incarceration, loss of driving privileges, and fines, you may develop a criminal record that lasts a lifetime. With the right Virginia Beach DUI attorney on your side, you can increase your chances of having your case dismissed or reducing your DUI to a lesser charge.

The Law Office of Michael C. Tillotson, LLC is not a general law firm—we only practice DUI defense. The Virginia legislature frequently makes changes to its drunk-driving regulations and statutes, so you need a defense lawyer who stays up to date on the law.

After a Virginia Beach DUI arrest, you may face an administrative license suspension for at least four months—even before you are found guilty in criminal court. As stated above, you may also face expensive fines, jail time, and mandatory drug and alcohol education classes.
