Loudoun County Hit & Run Attorneys

Defense Lawyers for Hit and Run Charges in Loudoun County, Virginia

Have you recently been accused of leaving the scene of an auto accident that you were involved in? In Virginia, this is a felony offense often referred to as hit and run or leaving the scene. A felony traffic violation, a conviction for hit and run may result in imprisonment in state prison as well as heavy fines. A driver may also face a civil lawsuit from the victim or family of the victim who was injured in the accident. It is crucial that you consider involving an experienced traffic violation attorney to challenge these charges and help you avoid a conviction for this serious offense.

A lawyer can take a number of actions to protect your Constitutional rights and therefore offer you the best opportunity at a positive case outcome and minimal penalties. For example, law enforcement may wish to search your vehicle or may wish to question you. If you have already retained the services of a lawyer at this point, he or she can make sure that any search conducted by law enforcement is entirely lawful, possibly even prohibiting them from conducting a search in the first place if they do not have a valid warrant or probable cause. In police questioning, your attorney can be there as your representative to help ensure that you do not say or do anything which may be used against you at a later date.
