I’ve been handling personal injury cases for just shy of a decade now. During that time, the types of cases I’ve handled have ranged from motor vehicle accidents to slip and falls or injury on private property to medical malpractice. A far majority of those cases were due to a client being involved in a car…
Maybe most of you understood that this is a post informing you to not use phones while you’re driving (not free of hands as the title would suggest). Another group of smart individuals (my readers, including you!) would quickly respond or think with the previous Virginia law that was enacted a couple of years ago…
If you’ve clicked on this post, I bet you’re dying to know! Well, beginning January 1, 2021, if you were otherwise unable to obtain a license to drive in Virginia, your luck will change. Progressive attitudes sweeping the once-moderate Commonwealth have elected a majority democratic general assembly who are largely pro-immigrant. It may have been…
You’ve heard of DUI and DWI. They are acronyms for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). Call it whichever you want, they’re the exact same thing. Some states may differentiate amongst the two, but in Virginia, their meanings are identical. Why? Because there is only one code section under Title 18.2…
Remember March 12, 2020 when Governor Northam declared a state of emergency due to COVID-19? It feels like a lifetime ago, but in reality only 5 months have passed since we began this new style of life. The first couple of months, the roads were empty. You could enter a major artery and not come…
Many states, including Virginia, have enacted “stay-at-home” orders by their respective state governors in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. In Virginia, Governor Northam’s order is currently set to expire on June 10, 2020. Many businesses have been closed unless you are deemed an essential business….
It’s always a breath of fresh air when we encounter fair and reasonable prosecutors. Today our client was fortuitous to have an Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney offer us a deal where our client got to keep his license, stay out of jail and have the 34+ mph over the limit Reckless Driving amended to a simple…
“DUID is essentially the same thing as a DUI, which is indistinguishable from DWI under the Virginia Code. But DUID is Driving Under the Influence of Drugs. Marijuana in particular has no “per se” concentration that says if a certain amount is in your blood, then you are ‘under the influence’. Other schedule I/II drugs…
Reckless Driving 95 mph in a 70 mph reduced to Improper Driving and the judge gave credit to our arguments. Yoon & Huff always fighting the good fight! It’s always a compliment when the judge tells us we did a good job and it was our persuasive arguments that got our client a good outcome.
