Traffic/DUI Defense
It comes as a surprise to some people that a traffic stop can lead to time in jail. Not only is that possible, but the traffic courts in Hampton Roads regularly sentence people to jail for some offenses, and not just the ones related to alcohol. Other penalties people may face include fines, license suspensions, substance abuse treatment programs, not to mention the long term effects that having a conviction can have on your insurance rates.
The attorneys of Myers, Myers & Myers regularly defend people accused of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs as well as other driving related offenses. These include charges of Driving while Suspended/Revoked, Reckless Driving, Hit and Run, Habitual Offender, and Speeding to name just a few. Our extensive experience in this field allows us to look for every possible defense, technical and factual, and to achieve the best results possible for our clients. We have been successful in defending cases that other attorneys considered to be “hopeless.” That same experience has provided us a great familiarity with our local courts, as well as the judges, prosecutors and police officers who work in and with them.
Criminal Defense
Everyday, people are accused of committing crimes; some of them are guilty, some of them are not. Either way the attorneys of Myers, Myers & Myers believe in putting on a strong defense for our clients. When somebody is accused of a crime, the government is seeking to punish that individual by taking away their freedom (jail) or their property (fines) as punishment. Before the government can deprive one of its citizens of either of these possessions, it should be made to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
The attorneys of Myers, Myers & Myers have spent years putting the prosecution and the evidence to the test. We have successfully defended countless individuals accused of all types of criminal activity, anything from curse and abuse and trespassing, to embezzlement and larceny, to drug possession or sales, to aggravated battery and sexual assault. Large or small, all criminal charges should be defended vigorously. Our experience with all types of criminal charges in all of our local courts allows us to achieve the best results possible for our clients.
Family Law
There is nothing more emotionally difficult then the ending of a marriage. Dealing with the issues that then arise, such as custody of children, support of children or of a wife or husband, who pays the bills, who gets to keep what property, whether to divorce or just separate, can just add to the emotional burden you are already carrying. Let us make it easier for you by giving you the knowledge necessary to make good decisions.
Whether you are just thinking about separating, have been divorced for years but are still fighting with your former spouse over unresolved issues, or were never married but have issues of custody and child support to resolve, our attorneys can help you understand your rights and can assist you in getting through the process.
Wills and Trusts
Estate planning involves the detailed analysis of a person’s goals concerning the handling of their assets after they die. Along the way, we also talk with our clients about making arrangements to deal with some possible situations in the future, such as their physical and mental incapacity, or the need to make medical decisions when their condition may be hopeless. All of these issues concern helping our clients to understand the consequences of the decisions that they make and educating them about what the law allows them to do to plan for the future. Once our clients have clarified their goals, we assist them in pulling together the necessary paperwork to make those goals a reality.
Whether you are in the planning phase for yourself or your family, or dealing with the issues that arise after the loss of a loved-one, there are complex issues that should be examined and pitfalls that could trap the unwary. Our attorneys have the knowledge to assist you every step of the way so that you can rest assured that your goals have been met.
Corporate Law
Maybe you have an idea for a business you are thinking about starting, or maybe you are already in business and need some advice to make sure that you are being protected to the fullest extent of the law. There are a lot of details to be addressed to get the maximum benefit of business planning and structures and our attorneys can help educate you about your options and assist you in putting your decisions into practice.
Whether you are looking to start a corporation, an LLC (Limited Liability Company), a partnership, or are just looking to understand the differences between these entities as you make your plans, we can help guide you through this potentially confusing process.
Personal Injury
Whenever you are injured, you suffer – pain, inconvenience, time lost, etc. If you are made to suffer these things by the negligence of another, you should be compensated by that person for what they have cost you. The law cannot give you your health or your time back, but it can help you to pay the medical expenses and other bills that arise while you get your life back in order. Insurance companies are in the business of avoiding paying people on their claims if they can. You need someone on your side to stand up to the insurance company and to use the power of the court, if necessary, to see that you are fully and fairly compensated.
Our attorneys have been handling serious personal injury and medical malpractice cases for decades and we know how to get results. Don’t try to “go it alone” and hope everything will come out alright. Know your rights.
