Protect Your Record & License - (757) 267-4949
College is the time to make mistakes and to learn from them. When a college student is over the age of 18, however, a mistake that results in a criminal charge could follow the student around for the rest of his or her life. A criminal record could affect a student's ability to get a job or get into a post graduate program.

The Burden of Proof
Under Virginia Law an Officer bears the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the individual either had actual possession of alcohol or alcohol within his or her system. The latter is proven by a showing that the individual had physical manifestations consistent with alcohol. These include but are not limited to the odor of alcohol, slurred speech, blood shot eyes, the inability to walk or stand without swaying, and incoherence.

I hired Mr. Weaver for my family law issues. -
I hired Mr. Miller initially for a bond hearing . I decided to retain his services for the case itself . I was facing two felony charges as well as a failure to appear charge . While there were witnesses that were able to identify me, I walked out of Virginia Beach Courthouse with only a misdemeanor thanks to Mr. Miller's representation . I work in the healthcare profession and expressed to Mr. Miller the importance of avoiding a felony charge and he made it happen. I am forever grateful and will highly recommend him . Mr. Miller will always represent myself as well as family members if need be in the future . Again thank you Mr. Miller for using your knowledge to keep me from being a convicted felon and also saving my career.- C. Dickens

Got a referral from a friend. "Call this guy I heard he's good." With much skepticism I called.
Dan did an excellent job for me. You will notice immediately he is smart, decisive, no nonsense and many more great qualities you want in a lawyer. It took very little time to see I just hired one of the best lawyers I've ever met.Professionally speaking, If you want somebody to tell you all the wonderful things that make you feel all fuzzy and warm its not Dan in my opinion.
However, if you want a highly intelligent, brutally honest, focused, driven lawyer that will shoot straight every time AND go the extra mile to make sure no rock is left unturned... Dan is the man!
