Tillotson & Martin have the knowledge, care, and fight to defend you against any DUI charge. Our attorneys wrote the book on DUI Law for the state of Virginia and are recognized at the top of their field. Put our expertise on your side.
We Wrote the Book
When it comes to DUI Law in Virginia, we wrote the book. Literally. Recognized as specialists in our field and backed by the expertise we’ve gained from handling thousands of previous cases, Thomson Reuters Westlaw, the authority in legal publishing, asked us to write the book on Virginia DUI Law as part of their Virginia Practice Series. Filled with crucial information about field sobriety tests and breath test operations, along with our own legal insights as DUI specialists and a “Lawyer-Scientist,” this book has become a resource for prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges alike. To date, it is one of our greatest accomplishments, and we look forward to the opportunity to continue enhancing others' knowledge of DUI law and procedures in the future.
We Possess the Knowledge
While many DUI defense lawyers know how to take a case to court and fight for reduced sentencing and penalties, none can provide the same level of specialized knowledge that we have to offer at Tillotson & Martin. Backed by 75+ years of combined experience, we are Virginia’s most qualified DUI attorneys in the state, and our practice is limited exclusively to DUIs because we know we can deliver results unlike anyone else in the business. What’s more, we are committed to sharing our knowledge with as many people as possible. To that end, we frequently conduct lectures and seminars for other professionals in the field, and, to date, we are the only law firm that has hosted a seminar on the EC/IR 2; we are both certified breath test operators; we are dedicated to staying up to date on our skills and knowledge, and we complete annual trainings in breath and blood testing, as well as field sobriety testing courses; and we continue to be the only attorneys in Virginia who bring the Field Sobriety manual and the Breath Test manual into evidence in the cases that we represent.
With Tillotson & Martin on your side, you can feel confident knowing that you’ll be working with a legal team unlike any other in the business. Our expertise and specialized training don’t just come from our ongoing education and professional experience. They are a reflection of the level of dedication we commit to our practice and our clients, because we truly care about delivering the best defense possible—and the best results! Our approach is both compassionate and aggressive, applying the right strategy with the right amount of force to make the biggest impact in the courtroom. Not only that, but we make working with our team as easy for our clients as possible, offering same-day appointments, free consultations, and after-hours accessibility by phone.
When you are facing the harsh penalties of a DUI conviction, you can’t afford to work with an inexperienced team. At Tillotson & Martin, you won’t have to. We have been handling DUI cases for more than seven decades combined, during which time we have secured thousands of successful results for our clients.
