Impaired driving charges can be especially serious due to the multiple types of penalties that may affect your life. Because DUI is a criminal offense, a conviction could lead to a jail sentence, and you may also be required to pay thousands of dollars in fines. The driver's license suspension that you may face if a chemical test shows that you were driving while intoxicated, if you refuse to take a chemical test, or if you are convicted of DUI can place restrictions on your life. You may also encounter other problems, such as increased insurance rates, a DUI conviction on your criminal record, and the loss of a professional license or security clearance.
If you have prior DUI convictions, you will likely face a mandatory minimum jail sentence, and you could be sentenced to significant jail time if you are convicted of felony DUI. The consequences of a DUI conviction can affect you for years. Attorney Noorishad will work with you to defend against a conviction and avoid penalties while helping you put this situation behind you.
While they may be less serious than DUI, offenses like reckless driving and speeding can still jeopardize your driving privileges. In some cases, these offenses are classified as misdemeanor crimes that could lead to penalties like jail time. Charges related to hit and run or vehicular manslaughter can be especially serious.
It can be tempting to plead guilty to a traffic violation and move on, but fighting back is often a better option. Our lawyer will help you defend against misdemeanor or felony traffic charges or other types of violations.

Theft of unattended propertywhich is called larceny in Virginiais a misdemeanor if the property taken was worth less than $1,000, and felony charges may apply if the stolen property is worth more than $1,000. When property is taken from the owner's person, it is generally considered robbery, which is a felony offense. Unlawfully entering a residence to commit theft is burglary, which is another felony. A strong defense against these charges is crucial, and our attorney can help you determine the best approach to take to prevent a criminal conviction.
Drug possession for personal use can be a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the schedule of the drug involved. You may face a mandatory minimum sentence if you have previously been convicted of a drug offense or if you are charged with possession with intent to distribute based on a large quantity of certain drugs. Our lawyer will work to defend against a conviction by addressing violations of your rights or demonstrating that there is a lack of evidence.
The most important step you can take after an arrest is to exercise your right to remain silent. You are not required to answer the questions asked by police officers or provide any information other than basic details about your identity. You can state that you wish to speak with an attorney before answering any questions. Anything you say to police can be used against you in court. Attempting to provide helpful information, explain what happened, or prove your innocence could affect your case and be used to argue that you are guilty. Contact our criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to make sure your rights will be protected.
Being charged with a crime will not automatically result in a criminal record. A criminal record will be created when you are convicted of an offense, either by pleading guilty or being found guilty after a trial. However, background checks could reveal information about your arrest. If your case is dismissed or you are acquitted, you may be eligible to have the arrest expunged from your record. Our attorney can help you understand what options for expungement may be available.
Yes. Prosecutors may choose to dismiss charges in certain cases. Your case may be dismissed if there is not enough evidence to support the charges or if police officers violated your rights during a search or arrest. Our lawyer will closely review your case to identify potential grounds for dismissal and argue to have the charges dropped.
The defenses that may be used in your case will depend on the specific charges you are facing and the facts surrounding the alleged offense, your arrest, and the procedures followed by law enforcement. Some common defense strategies include challenging the legality of searches, questioning whether evidence is reliable, presenting an alibi, showing that you acted in self-defense, or arguing that the evidence does not prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Our attorney will evaluate the available options and work with you to build the strongest possible defense.
Whether you are considering a guilty plea or plan to defend against criminal charges in a trial, it is important to make sure you are represented by a skilled lawyer. Pleading guilty without legal representation can result in harsher penalties. Our attorney can review the facts of your case to determine whether a guilty plea is truly in your best interest. He can negotiate with prosecutors to seek reduced charges or a more favorable sentence, and he will make sure you fully understand the consequences of a conviction before making any decisions.
Drug trafficking, distribution, and production are all serious felony charges. Drug distribution generally involves selling or sharing illicit drugs.

Our attorney can fight against unfair prosecution and help you avoid being convicted of a serious drug crime.
