- Q. I was pulled over in Fairfax Virginia for reckless driving ticket of 103mph in a 55 I’m afraid of going to jail I don’t
- A: Generally, getting your speedometer tested and completing community service before court can go a long way to helping avoid jail time.
Electing to have a jury trial is also a very good way to typically avoid jail as jurors tend to be less likely to impose incarceration than judges. (That much said a jury trial is only available in circuit court - after a bench trial in the original general district court.)
- Q. How long does the district attorney have to direct indict after Nolle prosequi in Virginia
- A: They have 12 months from the alleged date of offense to indict a misdemeanor.
- Q. I have a protective order against me. I need to know my legal rights as we live in the same house
- A: You should review the terms of the order and possibly contact a lawyer immediately if they are uncertain. Often, a protective order will require a person to leave a house even if they live there.
