Alcohol is a central part of many social activities in Virginia, whether it is a barbecue, sporting event, or family gathering. Unfortunately, some people have too much to drink and find themselves charged with a crime.. Depending on what specifically you are charged with, this can be a serious charge.

Alcohol-Related Offenses encompass a wide range of crimes including:

These alcohol related charges can have a serious impact on a person’s life, especially if they find themselves being convicted of multiple offenses. While the state will give people a second chance, if they suddenly find you are coming before the judge facing alcohol-related charges, the penalties will be severe. Therefore it is best to contact a Virginia alcohol-related offense attorney after the first charge to keep these off your record.

Because alcohol impairs judgment, these alcohol-related offenses can also lead to other serious charges.
