DUI Involving Minors: Zero Tolerance
While adults can have up to .08 percent alcohol in their system and still drive legally, that standard does not apply to those under the age of 21. Minors caught driving with any detectable amount of alcohol in their blood are charged with drunk driving. Prosecutors take this zero tolerance law very seriously and will likely pursue the maximum criminal penalties.
Although this may have been a one-time mistake, the consequences you face are very real. In addition to fines, jail time and loss of your drivers' license, you may be expelled from school. You may lose your job and have difficulty finding another one. To avoid these outcomes, you need a seasoned criminal defense attorney on your side.
