Underage Drunk Driving Has Consequences

Underage drunk driving is different from a typical charge of driving while intoxicated for one important reason: If the driver is under the age of 21, any level of alcohol that registers in a BAC test can result in a criminal charge. In addition, if the accused is a minor, the matter can be heard in juvenile court.

The consequences of a conviction for underage drunk driving, a Class C misdemeanor, include:

  • 60-180 days’ license suspension
  • 20-60 hours of community service
  • Alcohol awareness classes
  • Fines of up to $500

Our firm understands that legal punishments are not the only potential consequences of a criminal record for a minor or underage individual: suspension from school, sports programs or work-study programs could be serious. Patrick L. Hancock will provide your child with legal expertise and sound advice that can make the difference in an underage DWI case.
