DUI under 21 years of age

If you are being charged with a DUI and are under 21 years of age we can help. DUI laws and punishments are different for individuals under 21. The legal limit of .08 alcohol level does not apply to those under 21, instead, you will be charged with an under 21 DUI if your blood alcohol level (BAC) is over .01. This means that if there is any measurable level of alcohol in your system, you will face a DUI charge. 

Lead attorney Susan Hearne has great experience representing those under 21 years of age. Our firm will fight on your behalf in order to fight the charges, challenge the calibrations on the equipment used to measure your alcohol, and analyze the conduct of the police department. We represent you at all the DMV/court hearings, and fight for your right to drive.

If you are being charged with either a misdemeanor or infraction and you retain our firm, you do not need to attend ANY DMV or Court events. Just call our office, sign some paperwork, and we will take care of the rest. 

Critical Need License

If you are convicted of a DUI and are under 21 years of age your license will be suspended by the DMV. If you need to drive for work, for school, for medical necessity, or for family enterprise, you may be able to have your driving privileges partially reinstated with a Critical Need License. Our attorneys are familiar with the application process for Critical Need Licenses, and will navigate this complicated process on your behalf. This application process is included for all of our clients who have been arrested for alleged DUI, and are under 21 years of age.
