The Walker Law Firm PLC has a high success rate of getting their client’s charges reduced to an offense that carries less demerit points, which allows our clients to save a great deal of money on insurance premiums.  These savings often more than make up for our reasonable flat fees.

When you are convicted of a traffic violation, the court notifies the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

 DMV does the following:

·         Posts the conviction to your driving record

·         Assigns demerit points to you according to the severity of the offense

·         Assesses unsafe driving fees ordered by the court

·         Issues an order of suspension, if applicable

·         Issues an order requiring the successful completion of a driver improvement clinic, if applicable

·         Notifies your insurance company upon request

Below, you will find Virginia DMV traffic violations for driving on a suspended license and no operator's license and the demerit points assigned to them. These violations are grouped according to the number of DMV demerit points assigned to each violation. The number of years that the conviction stays on your DMV record is in parentheses beside each violation.
