Aggressive DC & Northern Virginia DUI Defense Lawyer

If you are looking for an aggressive, competent lawyer to represent you in your DC or Northern Virginia DUI case, you've come to the right place.  If you've been recently arrested for DUI, you are probably scared, and have every right to be, because the penalties are severe.  In Virginia, for example, even conviction on a first offense can result in a mandatory loss of license for a year, jail time of up to 12 months, mandatory participation in the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program (ASAP)and a fine of up to $2500.  Higher insurance rates that follow, as well as adverse impacts on your career, can make things even worse.  As a result, it's important to hire someone that will raise every conceivable defense on your behalf.

All too often, people assume, wrongly, that just because they have been arrested for DUI means they are necessarily going to be convicted.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Like any other crime, the government bears the burden of proving your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and must meet a number of Constitutional, statutory and procedural hurdles to do so.  Too often, well meaning lawyers fail to raise a number of objections at trial that could expose real and legitimate weaknesses in the prosecution of the government's case, thereby losing the opportuity for an acquittal or conviction of a lesser offense.  

Bruce Deming's philosophy is simple.  He treats every client, and every case, as if he were the defendant -- as if he were the one facing loss of his license, jail time, higher insurance rates, and all the other terrible baggage that goes along with a DUI conviction.  His objective is to prepare thoroughly, take nothing for granted, and make the most of every conceivable opportunity and point of law to advance every client's interests. 

If that philosophy makes sense to you, call Bruce S. Deming today for a no-obligation consultation regarding your DC or Virginia DUI arrest.  You owe it to yourself to hire the strongest possible advocate you can find when the worst happens, and you find yourself facing a DUI arrest in DC or Northern Virginia.
