Cases We Handle
Arrested on DUI Charges? We’ll take the load off.
Being charged with driving under the influence (DUI) can be an incredibly frightening experience. In the state of Virginia, these types of cases are prosecuted with extreme tenacity and can expose a person to a variety of harsh legal consequences, including expensive fines, mandatory alcohol education program participation, lengthy driver’s license suspensions, and even jail time. Since a person’s reputation and future can hang in the balance after a DUI arrest, knowing where to turn or who to trust can be confusing. Fortunately, the hard-hitting DUI lawyers at the Law Offices of Michael Pignone make this decision easy.

Client Testimonials
My daughter recently received a ticket for reckless driving. It is the first speeding ticket she has ever gotten. Michael worked with her and the court to have it fully dismissed if she agreed to a court ordered driver improvement class. He is professional and courteous. Top notch individual. Do yourself a favor and hire this gentleman. Won't be disappointed!
- Kevin B.I hired Mike through a friends referral for a serious wreckless driving charge. He was thorough, professional, and affordable. He was able to have my ticket resolved efficiently due to his relationship with the prosecutor. I hope I never need him again, but if I do, Mike will be the first call!
