Protecting Your Child's Future

Underage drinking charges should be taken just as seriously, if not more so, than adult charges. An underage drinking conviction can cause a student's application for financial aid to be denied, benefits to be discontinued and/or hamper future employment opportunities. It can also hamper the chances of getting into a preferred college for younger children. A conviction can also lead to removal from after school activities as well as ostracism in the community, not to mention a suspended or revoked driver's license.

Our lawyers believe in trying to prevent these occurrences by fighting to get the charges dropped or substantially reduced. Our goal is to minimize the impact by negotiating for community service or voluntary entrance into an alcohol treatment program. We will also always try to have the record sealed or expunged when the child reaches adulthood.
