Frequently Asked Questions

Get Answers, Fast.

  • Questions

  • What is Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)?

    Answer

    BAC refers to the amount of alcohol detected in the blood stream. A person’s BAC level can be measured in multiple ways, including by breath, blood, urine, or other chemical means. Some police officers may measure BAC by asking an individual to submit to a breathalyzer test or other type of chemical test that will quantify the amount of alcohol in the blood. The legal limit is .08% BAC, but for underage drivers, this legal limit may be much lower.

  • What is a sobriety test?

    Answer

    Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs) are types of tests that police officers use to determine if a driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. These tests are completely voluntary and a driver can politely refuse to take them at any time.

  • Are there defenses available for my child’s case?

    Answer

    Because every state varies in how they handle underage DUI cases, you should speak with a defense attorney right away. We give you the opportunity to discuss your child’s case and their potential defense options. Regardless of the nature of the offense, we help create a custom defense strategy that is tailored to your child’s needs (long-term and short-term), and we stay focused on securing the best possible outcome.

  • Will my child go to jail?

    Answer

    Every case is different but it is highly unlikely that your child will see the inside of a jail cell. Most juvenile cases are handled in the juvenile court system, which is completely different from adult court. Some underage DUI cases may be handled in an adult court, however, depending on the circumstances (such as age). Do not risk your child’s future by going without legal representation – speak with an attorney now.

  • Possible Case Outcomes

    Charges Reduced

    There may be a chance that you can get the charges reduced, depending upon various circumstances with what exactly happened. We investigate all avenues to determine if this is possible for your child.

  • Possible Case Outcomes

    Plea Bargain

    Though prosecutors may be harsh, we utilize our skills to negotiate a lesser charge for your child. We work hard to negotiate a deal that minimizes the impact that a juvenile offense has on your child’s future.

  • Possible Case Outcomes

    Charges Dismissed

    We represent every client with the intent of helping them move forward in life with the best possible outcome. Our defense strategy is focused on helping your child walk out away with a clean slate, if possible.
