Suffolk County DUI Defense
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a criminal offense that can lead to fines, license suspension or revocation, and potential jail time.
Even a first offense is considered serious, with penalties escalating for subsequent offenses, including mandatory minimum prison sentences. In Virginia, the offense is often termed "DWI" or "DUI," both referring to the same crime but with different wording. DUI stands for "driving under the influence," while DWI means "driving while intoxicated."
Each DWI case is unique and necessitates personalized representation. Our team of lawyers takes the time to understand your situation thoroughly to strategize your defense effectively and offer sound legal counsel.
Violent Crimes Defense in Suffolk County
Allegations of violent crimes in Virginia carry significant penalties and can profoundly impact your future. From assault and battery to homicide, the range of violent crimes in the state is extensive.
With a skilled Suffolk County criminal defense attorney by your side, you can construct a robust defense. Our team works diligently to investigate your case details, gather evidence, and protect your rights in court. Through strategic defense tactics, we aim to potentially reduce charges or have them dismissed.
White-Collar Crimes
White-collar crimes involve fraudulent acts by individuals or corporations for financial gain. While nonviolent, these offenses carry severe penalties.
Common examples of white-collar crimes include:
- Embezzlement
- Securities fraud
- Money laundering
Defending against white-collar crimes demands a deep understanding of financial law. Our attorneys can navigate complex financial transactions, uncover false allegations, and clarify misunderstood transactions to build a strong defense.
Protective Orders Representation
Receiving a protective order can be a distressing experience. In Virginia, a protective order prohibits contact with the accuser or coming within a specified distance of them.
While you can't challenge an emergency or temporary restraining order, you can contest a permanent order. If faced with an unjust restraining order, our team can assist in building a case against it, starting from the temporary order stage.
Expungement Services
Virginia allows for criminal records to be erased or sealed in certain cases through expungement. Not all charges are eligible for removal, but our attorneys can assess your situation and guide you on pursuing expungement if applicable.
We will assist in gathering necessary documentation, ensuring accurate filing, and working towards clearing your record effectively.

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

I was very nervous when I had to go to court over a traffic accident I was recently involved in. Dan put me at ease almost immediately with his knowledge and tenacity. By the time Dan was finished questioning the other people involved in the accident I did not even have to testify (which was the major source of my nervousness). My innocence was clear to everyone in the room, thanks to Dan. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to others. Aside from his performance during the hearing he was very easy to contact and always kept appointments with me. He also answered all of my questions patiently and with understanding.- Client

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!

A Track Record of Success
-
Protective Order
Our client's estranged wife had filed a protective order to prohibit him from having contact with her to gain exclusive use and possession of the home. We were successful in showing that she had motive to fabricate and that had consulted with an attorney regarding getting our client out of her house days before filing the request for a protective order.
-
Pre Litigation Defense – Rape
Our client was the respondent of a protective order wherein the petitioner alleged that she was raped. She sought a two-year protective order and was seeking to have detectives assist in securing warrants against him. We suspect that the admissions made on cross-examination by the alleged victim at the hearing will prevent the Commonwealth from bringing any charges.
