DUI & Child Endangerment in Virginia

In Virginia, being charged with a DUI results in extensive jail sentences and expensive fines. However, those penalties can become enhanced if an individual is found driving while under influence with a child passenger in the vehicle upon arrest.

If you were arrested for DUI with a child in the vehicle, our lawyer is prepared to help you obtain the outcome you desire. With over 25 years of experience, we have a comprehensive understanding of state laws and court processes to help you get your charges reduced or your case entirely dismissed.

DUI Child Endangerment Penalties

According to Virginia law, a conviction of DUI child endangerment in the state involves driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs with a juvenile passenger (anyone age 17 or younger). This offense is punishable by a mandatory minimum jail sentence of five days in jail and a fine between $500 and $1,000 enhancement, in addition to penalties of a regular DUI. For a repeat offense of DUI child endangerment, it is punishable by an additional 80 hours of community service on top of the other penalties.
