Fairfax Criminal Lawyer Faraji Rosenthall
- Q. If a sheriff deputy want to interview you because there is an accusation against you, do you need a lawyer present?
- A: Yes, it better yet don't talk to them at all. Anything they say can and will be used against you. They can lie or trick you to get you to confess. You may not even know what the accusation is. They aren't asking because they want to hear your side, they are asking because they want to get evidence to use against you.
- 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.
