• FAQ on Underage Alcohol Violations

Teens and college students are often peer pressured into drinking, just to go along with the crowd. What the crowd may not realize is that underage drinking and/or getting behind the wheel of a car can have consequences that can devastate for a long time. A conviction may be left on your record forever, you may be facing a suspended or revoked license until you turn 21, and jail time and fines are always possible punishments for underage alcohol possession and/or consumption. You may also incur points that affect your license and insurance, if the license is not taken away completely. It is important that you turn to a lawyer that is experienced and trustworthy in order to take these charges head on and fight for your rights.

If you are stopped for suspicion of DWI / drunk driving or Underage Alcohol Possession/Consumption, you may be subjected to an Alco-Sensor or Intox EC/ER-II test. Regardless of your blood alcohol content (BAC), you may be facing criminal charges as a result of your age and illegal consumption of alcohol.

In addition to underage drinking, we handle other specific types of underage charges related to drinking, including:

• Driving By Person less than 21 years of age After Consuming Alcohol (also knows as Driving After Consuming Being Under 21, underage DWI / DUI / drinking and driving) NCGS 20-138.3
• Sale or Purchase by underage persons (NCGS 18B-302)
• Using Fake Identification (NCGS 18B-302)

Some people will tell you that your case cannot be won. That's because they don't try. Call 704-376-9376 or e-mail our Charlotte office to schedule a  consultation with our lawyer to further discuss your underage drinking violation or other underage charge.
