DUI LAWYER GEORGE HOLTON YATES
CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY
SPECIALIZING IN DUI/DWI DEFENSE IN VIRGINIA BEACH
Former Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney for the City of Virginia Beach 1985-1989
In Private Practice at the Same Location of 1023 Laskin Road in Virginia Beach Since 1989
In my more than 30 years of specializing in DUI law, defending a DUI case in Virginia Beach has never been more challenging. The cops are better trained, the prosecutors don’t like to make deals, the judges are tough, and the penalties for a conviction get more serious every year! I have defended thousands of DUIs during the course of my 30-year career, yet despite all these challenges, I still go into every one of these cases convinced I can win a good result for my client. Call (757) 491-8800  to see if I can help you!
When you and I and discuss your case by telephone or during an office consultation, I can give you a basic overview of what you are facing. After I am retained and I am able to collect and analyze the information received during the discovery process and from our discussions, you and I can then discuss how we are going to best defend this very serious charge or set of charges that have been filed against you. Expecting a lawyer to tell you what your chances are on an initial consultation is unrealistic, and often impossible, because so much of criminal defense is based upon what the Commonwealth can prove or not prove, and that requires the filing of discovery motions and the review of all the evidence in the case.
