What are the penalties that I am facing if I am charged with a DUI or DWI?
If you are convicted of DWI, among other penalties, your driver’s license is automatically suspended for a period of one year; you face fines up to $2,500; you could go to jail for up to 1 year; and you will be required to attend the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action program (VASAP). In addition, your auto insurance rates will dramatically increase, you will need to note the conviction on job applications and the conviction can appear on your credit report. If you are a professionally licensed individual, a conviction can be reported to the relevant governing agency.
