Traffic Violation Defense in Henrico County
Speeding Violations
Speeding tickets are more than just an inconvenience—they can lead to fines, points on your license, increased insurance premiums, and even license suspension. In Virginia, excessive speeding (20+ mph over the limit or over 85 mph) is considered reckless driving, a criminal offense that carries severe penalties.
At Stanton Law, we analyze every detail of your speeding case to build a strong defense. Whether it’s challenging radar accuracy or negotiating reduced charges, we strive to protect your driving record and minimize long-term consequences.
Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
A DUI charge can have life-altering effects, including license suspension, hefty fines, mandatory alcohol education classes, and potential jail time. Virginia enforces strict DUI laws, particularly for high BAC levels or drug-related offenses.
William W. Stanton VII offers aggressive DUI defense, examining every aspect of your case—from the legality of the traffic stop to the accuracy of sobriety tests. Our goal is to challenge the evidence, protect your rights, and secure the best possible outcome.
Failure to Stop at a Red Light or Stop Sign
Running a red light or failing to stop at a stop sign may seem minor, but these offenses can lead to fines, points on your record, and higher insurance premiums. More importantly, they increase the risk of accidents and can result in serious legal and financial consequences.
Our team at Stanton Law works to reduce penalties and help you avoid points on your record, providing skilled representation tailored to your unique case.
Driving with a Suspended License
Operating a vehicle with a suspended license is not just a violation—it’s a criminal offense in Virginia. This charge can result in heavy fines, an extended suspension, and possible jail time. Common reasons for suspension include prior DUIs, unpaid court fees, or too many demerit points.
Stanton Law is experienced in defending clients against these charges. We’ll work to understand the circumstances behind your suspension and explore solutions to reinstate your driving privileges and reduce penalties.
Reckless Driving
Reckless driving is one of Virginia’s most serious traffic violations, classified as a Class 1 misdemeanor. It includes excessive speeding, aggressive driving, tailgating, or improper passing. Convictions can lead to steep fines, license suspension, jail time, and a permanent criminal record.
With a thorough understanding of Virginia traffic laws, Stanton Law provides aggressive defense for reckless driving charges. Our team investigates the evidence, challenges the prosecution, and fights for reduced penalties or case dismissals.
Failure to Yield
Failure to yield at intersections, pedestrian crossings, or when merging onto highways is a common traffic offense that can lead to accidents. Penalties include fines, points on your driving record, and higher insurance premiums.
At Stanton Law, we carefully review the circumstances of your case to develop a defense strategy that minimizes penalties and protects your driving record.
Driving Without Insurance
Virginia requires all drivers to carry liability insurance or pay an uninsured motorist fee. Driving without insurance can result in fines, license suspension, and the need to file an SR-22 to prove financial responsibility.
Stanton Law helps clients navigate these charges, working to reduce penalties and guide you through the steps needed to regain compliance and your driving privileges.
