Fairfax DUI attorneys look at a new Virginia law that may affect everyone convicted of DUI, even first time offenders, in the state of Virginia.
By statute you can have up to 30 days to pay your fines and costs. If you are serving a sentence most courts make fines and costs due 90 days from your release from jail. You may ask the Judge or clerk for additional time to pay as you can be given longer than the 30 days. It requires an extra fee but it allows you the time you need to take care of the fines and costs. You also may be required to put a down payment of a certain % etc based on the amount you owe if you want to make installments. If you cannot pay it by the date the Judge has ordered, you can go back to court and request more time to pay. If you really cannot afford to pay you can also make a motion to clerk or court to request that you be allowed to perform community services hours to pay off your fines and costs. However, if you do not pay on time then the court will relay this to Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and DMV will suspend your license. So if you need more time, make sure to have your attorney request time from the Judge. Whatever date the Judge gives you, pay on time so you do not lose your license.
