I can’t recommend this attorney highly enough
I can’t recommend this attorney highly enough. I was facing multiple traffic infractions, including a reckless driving charge, and was extremely stressed about the potential consequences. From our first conversation, they were professional, knowledgeable, and straightforward about my options. They took the time to explain the process clearly, kept me informed every step of the way, and handled everything with confidence and skill. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, all of my charges were dismissed. The outcome exceeded my expectations, and I’m incredibly grateful for the dedication and attention they gave my case. If you need someone who knows what they’re doing and truly advocates for their clients, this is the lawyer to call.

Our client, suffering from sleep apnea and insomnia, was exhausted while driving home. He was reported for swerving. We had a previous refusal charge dismissed, a judge likely would have found him guilty. However, a jury ultimately found him NOT GUILTY.

2nd DUI
Not Guilty2nd Offense DWI
Our client, suffering from sleep apnea and insomnia, was exhausted while driving a friend back to his car around 1 am. An off-duty officer reported him for swerving. When an arresting officer arrived at the client's home, the client told him to get off his property. Although we had a previous refusal charge dismissed, a judge likely would have found him guilty. However, a jury ultimately found him NOT GUILTY.
Charged Reduced After TreatmentDoctor Charged with DWI
A medical doctor who had a history of trouble with alcohol and who was under supervision by the Medical Board of Virginia received a DUI. The breath test was less than a .08, but people can be convicted with a .05 and above. Rather than try the case and risk the doctor’s career, we worked with the prosecution and the Medical Board of Virginia. After one year, including a stint of in-patient counseling, the doctor’s DWI charge was reduced. He did not lose his medical license or his driver’s license!
Not GuiltyDWI & Refusal After Tummy Tuck
My client was found guilty of a DWI but Not Guilty of a refusal in the lower court because a doctor testified that she could not physically provide a breath sample due to her recent surgery. Unfortunately, the Judge did not accept the law that states if a person physically cannot blow then a blood test should be given. After appealing, the Circuit Court judge initially tried to stop testimony about the Refusal because she had not heard of the Lamay case. She took a recess, read the decision and said that we were correct and DWI was dismissed as well.
1st DUI
Not GuiltyDWI 1st Accident Involving a CDL Driver
A commercial truck driver, arrested after an accident and blowing a 0.16 BAC, was noted by a State Trooper to have slurred speech and failed field sobriety tests. Declining a plea deal to avoid jail time, he insisted on his innocence. After a two-day jury trial with multiple experts, the jury found the breath test inaccurate and acquitted him, saving his CDL and livelihood.
Not GuiltyDWI 1st Offense with 0.09 BAC
In another case where the breath test was successfully challenged with an expert, the case came down to field sobriety tests. They were successfully challenged because of my client’s physical problems, how they were administered AND the environment in which they were done. Two officers approached to congratulate Mr. Tillotson after court and asked if he would be willing to talk to other officers in the department about how to avoid these kinds of mistakes.
2nd DUI
Case DismissedDWI 2nd Offense with a .28 Blood Result
Following a bad accident, the client was taken for a blood test prior to being arrested. No field sobriety tests were given due to injuries sustained in the crash, and no summons was issued. The breath test was suppressed because there was no proof that the client has not had consumed alcohol after the accident. The judge found our client Not Guilty.
