Defend Against Drug and Alcohol Offences
Although the lawful drinking age is 21, a lot of college students have their first alcoholic drink long before that point. Because of this, many college student crimes are related to underage alcohol use. One major charge is Underage DUI. Anyone under the age of 21 discovered to be driving with a blood alcohol content of even .01 can be found guilty of Underage DUI. If your child is under 21 and discovered to be driving a vehicle with a blood alcohol content level of .08 or higher, he or she will not even be able to obtain limited driving privileges. In addition to Underage DUI, Randy can defend your child against a variety of other charges.
College is generally a period when young people participate in new activities. A number of these events could involve drinking alcohol or engaging in unlawful drug use. Even though these acts do not generally involve severe legal consequences virtually any criminal conviction can obstruct a young person in all aspects of life.
Can The Charge Be Diverted
Depending on your child’s circumstances, diversion may be a possibility. A diversion program may involve community service and classes. If your child successfully completes diversion, the original charge can later be expunged. I can help my clients take proactive steps to increase the likelihood of entry into a diversion program.
