Hanover DUI / DWI
Virginia is tough on DUI / DWI, and Hanover County is no different. Many of my out of state clients have commented how surprised they are at the punishments for a first offense DWI here.
If you’re charged with a basic first DWI, the punishment can be:
- Jail up to 12 months
- Fine up to $2,500
- Mandatory 12 months loss of your license
- Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program
If you’re charged with a second offense or a blood alcohol content of .15 or higher, you’re facing mandatory jail time.
