Virginia Traffic Court Defense

When you have a charge pending in Virginia traffic court there’s quite a few considerations you need to make. You need to understand what kind of charge you’re facing, which specific court you’re supposed to go to, and, most importantly, whether or not you should bring a lawyer.

Which Virginia traffic court are you due in?

Every county and city in Virginia has a General District Court which is the primary court that hears traffic-related matters in Virginia. However, for a juvenile, which means someone under the age of 18, the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court is who would hear your case.

Also, it’s important to note that cities have their own courts even though they could be located within the borders of a county. If you’re due in Virginia traffic court you need to look at your ticket closely and see exactly which specific court you’re in.

What are you facing in Virginia traffic court?

The specifics of your charge are going to be listed on the ticket itself. Underneath the court date and time, the ticket will say that you’re accused of violating a specific law or code section, and it will have a brief description. That’s our indicator of exactly what you are accused of doing. That can tell us what possible punishments you may be looking at. Unfortunately, there’s hundreds of charges that could be written on a summons, so it’s impossible to examine every possible charge in a blog post.
