Why Hire an Attorney?

Underage Drinking and Driving

Indiana's drinking and driving laws are very strict, especially for anyone under the age of 21 who is accused of driving under the influence. If you are under 21 and are accused of drinking while driving, do not delay in seeking help from an experienced criminal defense lawyer. The sooner you speak to an attorney, the closer you are to putting your situation in the past.

Underage Drinking And Driving Laws In Indiana

It is legal for individuals 21 years of age and older to operate a vehicle in Indiana so long as their blood alcohol content (BAC) is under .08. Those under the age of 21, however, can be arrested and charged with a DUI if their BAC reaches .02. The penalties for a first conviction could include:

  • Suspension of your driver's license
  • Hundreds of dollars in fines
  • Mandatory alcohol treatment courses
  • Imprisonment (depending upon your specific circumstances)

There are other penalties that must be considered as well, including the potential impact on your school, job and family. Our job as your defense lawyers is to secure the best outcome possible. To do so, we will carefully investigate every aspect of your case and fight to have your charges dismissed or reduced, as well as limit any penalties you might face.
