Fairfax Criminal Lawyer Faraji Rosenthall
- Q. I received ticket for speeding and it is over 20 MPH. Officer told me that he marked it as a speeding not reckless
- A: The ticket will not impact your record until after court. When you initially get a license you have a 0 point balance. You get positive points for every year you have a license. Your +3 could be because you haven't had a license long enough to get 5 positive points.
- Q. I got a DUI in 2014. I completed my ASAP classes, and my license was reinstated. How long will it stay on my record?
- A: A DWI in Virginia stays on your driving record for 11 years. Unfortunately as the law is currently it stays on your criminal record forever. There are efforts in the legislature to reform the current system but as it is now it cannot be removed from a criminal record.
- Q. I had received reckless by speeding ticket. 98/70 This happened in VA. Is there a way I can push my court date up?
- A: Yes, court dates can be adjusted to allow time for you to save up to afford a lawyer. Depending on the county, jail time or suspended jail time may be a possibility. If that's the case then the court would have to appoint a lawyer to handle your case for little or no cost to you. Regardless, the best strategy is to contact a lawyer in that area to discuss their fees and options well before your court date. Many attorneys offer free consultations.
