Traffic Violations

Newport News, Virginia, Traffic Offenses

A traffic violation is a criminal offense. Get a traffic ticket and you're looking at a fine; rack up a few of them and you may be facing license revocation or even jail time.

Driving is a privilege that most of us cannot easily live without. Losing your license will change your life. If you've been charged with a traffic offense in the Newport News, Virginia, area, you must take prompt action to address the criminal charge.

Those traffic violations don’t just go away. Contact the law office of John J. Rice; I can help you get back on the road.

Facing Traffic Charges?

As a Newport News traffic violation lawyer, I represent hundreds of residents of the Newport News area every year. I also defend tourists caught in speed traps as they pass through town, active duty or retired members of the military stationed at nearby military bases, parents of a local college students visiting their kids at school, and many college students.

In my criminal defense law practice, I defend people on these and other traffic violations and motor vehicle offenses:

  • Moving violations
  • Speeding / drag racing
  • Reckless driving
  • Insurance violations
  • Failure to stop for a police officer

  • DUI / Driving Under the Influence
  • Underage drinking and driving
  • Habitual offender drunk driving
  • Open container

  • Outstanding traffic warrants
  • Failure to pay parking tickets or speeding tickets
  • Failure to appear in court
  • Driving on a suspended license
  • Driving on a revoked license

  • Traffic Tickets

    Failure to pay traffic tickets can result in your license being suspended. If the police pull you over or pick you up for any reason, you could be going to jail. You don’t have to live in fear. Get legal help.

    I've been helping people clean up traffic warrants and clear up their driving record for more than 30 years. There is no need to procrastinate. We can get this done together.
