Richmond County Criminal Defense & Traffic Lawyer
Stanton Law defends people facing criminal and traffic charges in Richmond County, Virginia. We handle reckless driving, DUI, and speeding cases along with assault, drug, theft, firearms, and felony charges, in both courts on Court Circle in Warsaw.
The firm is led by William W. Stanton VII, a former Virginia prosecutor who spent more than a decade trying cases for the Commonwealth.
Criminal Charges We Defend in Richmond County
A conviction follows you on background checks for jobs, housing, and licensing. We defend Richmond County clients charged with:
- Assault and battery, including domestic assault
- Drug offenses
- Theft
- Firearms charges
- Violent crimes
First-time charges sometimes qualify for a program that ends in dismissal. Whether yours does depends on the charge and your history.
Traffic Charges We Defend in Richmond County
US Route 360 and Route 3 carry most of the traffic through this county. We defend drivers charged with:
- Reckless driving — a Class 1 misdemeanor carrying up to 12 months in jail, not a ticket
- Speeding and traffic violations
- DUI / DWI
- Hit and run
- Eluding
- Driving on a suspended or revoked license, which often catches drivers suspended in another state
Much of Route 360 through the county is a wide, divided highway posted at 55 mph. In Virginia, 20 over the speed limit is reckless driving, so 75 on that road is a criminal charge, not a ticket. Depending on your record, it can sometimes be reduced to improper driving, a traffic infraction. We will tell you honestly whether that is realistic for you.
