You have a constitutional right to have an attorney present whenever you are being interrogated while in police custody. However, in Virginia, you do not have a right to an attorney unless you are being interrogated while you are in police custody. This usually does not apply to a normal DUI investigation on the side of the road prior to being arrested. Additionally you do NOT have a right to have an attorney present during the breath or blood test.
If the police do ask you questions while you are in police custody you can force them to stop interrogating you by firmly and unambiguously demanding that you have a lawyer during the interrogation.
