FAQs

Virginia Criminal Defense Lawyer for State and Federal Cases

When does a search warrant expire?

When police have a search warrant for a person's house, may they search everywhere?

Virginia Divorce and Family Law Attorney

My husband and I are going through a divorce. In return for my giving up my half interest in our stocks -- currently valued at $100,000 -- he proposes carrying a term life insurance policy until he reaches age 65 with me as the beneficiary under which I will receive $500,000 if he dies before age 65. I think its worth the gamble because he's an idiot and will do something stupid to die young, but is it legal?. I don't want to do this if the court will not enforce it.

My child support payments are set by a court order. It was effective almost two years ago. However, due to the slowdown in the economy, my hours at work have been cut back and the reduction in my income has made it difficult for me to pay child support and my other expenses. My ex-wife knows about this but insists that I continue to pay the court-ordered amount of  child support or she will have me held in contempt. Is there anything I can do?

Virginia Juvenile Court Defense for Marijuana Drug and Alcohol Charges

Is it possible for a parent to be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor in Virginia if he serves beer, wine or a mixed drink to his 19 year old daughter in their home?

My son is graduating high school and wants to have a party to celebrate with his friends. He also wants to have a keg of beer. What is the law in Virginia on this?

Richmond Virginia Auto Accident Attorney

I was test-driving a BMW in Richmond. Soon after leaving the dealer's lot another driver ran a stop sign and T-boned the BMW. I was hurt pretty bad. My hospital bills are already over $100,000, and I will likely miss 6 months of work. My lawyer said the other driver had minimum liabilty limits of $25,000 on his insurance policy, but that won't be enough to even cover my medical costs. Am I stuck?

My teenage daughter was injured in an auto accident recently and was not at fault. The accident occurred in Richmond on I-95/I-64. The other car was driven by the owner's nephew, and because the nephew lived with the owner and was not listed as a potential driver of the car when the application for insurance was made, the insurance company is denying coverage. Can the insurance company do this even when the owner of the other car paid the insurance premiums on time?

DUI/DWI

If a police officer stops me and asks if I've been drinking, what should I tell him?

Do I have the right to speak to an attorney if I'm stopped for DUI?
