Virginia Beach DUI Lawyer

Do you need a tough, dedicated DUI lawyer for trial in Virgina Beach? Look no further than the law firm of Montagna & Montagna, P.C. We have won more DUI cases than some lawyers have even tried. In fact, while we do not guarantee results, we do guarantee our best efforts.

As a commercial on television suggests before becoming a customer, ask your friends about the company. We also strongly suggest that before you hire us that you ask your friends and neighbors about the Montagnas. Since we have over 62 years of combined experience, there is a good chance that we have represented a friend, a neighbor, or a relative.

We have extensive knowledge of field tests and breathalyzers. We also have appeared in front of the Virginia Beach judges hundreds, if not thousands, of times. Now, would you rather have a lawyer who says he is good or a lawyer that your friends, neighbors, or family members say is good.

If you want results and you want to know that your lawyer is a fighter and not a lover (it's a joke), call our firm today. Our number is 757-625-3500.

Why hire a lawyer who thinks outside of the box

Do you want a lawyer who thinks outside of the box? Do you want a lawyer who can think quickly on his feet? Do you want a lawyer who places the best interest of his client ahead of himself? Do you want a lawyer who provides excellent representation for a fair price?

If you answered yes to any of these questions or all of theses questions, then I am the lawyer for you. My partner and I believe that these days require novel approaches and ideas in providing excellent representation in a criminal case or civil matter.
Many lawyers are concerned about their fee first and the client second. We are most concerned for our client.

A lawyer who thinks outside of the box exemplifies intelligence, foresight, and problem solving skills. Many times, an idea that is outside the box of conventional thinking can keep the client out of jail, allow the judge to formulate a disposition that enables a client to avoid a conviction, or allows fair and just compensation for an injured party.

If you need a quick thinking, dynamic attorney in Norfolk, Virginia Beach or anywhere in Hampton Roads, Virginia call my firm, Montagna & Montagna, P.C., at 757-625-3500. I promise that you will be happy that you did.

Gaming Cafes

The City of Virginia Beach apparently is targeting gaming cafes. Virginia Beach police have raided 11 gaming centers and have seized 400 computers. The Commonwealth Attorney, Harvey Bryant, has opined that the cafes are illegal because the games do not involve skill and that rewards can be won. No charges have been filed to date.
