Juvenile & Underage DUI Lawyer in Reno

Serving Sparks, Truckee & Washoe County

It is not uncommon for a young person who is not yet 21 to drink alcohol. However, if an intoxicated minor gets behind the wheel of a vehicle and is then pulled over by law enforcement, the consequences are serious. The penalties imposed on those pulled over for DUI who are under the age of 18, filed in juvenile court, can include fines, community service, and a term served in a juvenile detention center. Those who are underage, but are between 18 and 21, will face charges in adult criminal court. Any person under 21 will be charged if their BAC (blood alcohol content) registers at .02 or higher. 

Protect Your Child’s Future

The consequences of a conviction can extend far beyond the fines, community service, mandated DUI school, or jail time. College admissions and scholarships may be denied or rescinded after a DUI conviction. It is imperative that the case is professionally defended to help ensure your child can move forward and achieve success in life.

Neada’s Zero Tolerance Law

Nevada lawmakers have enacted a “zero tolerance” DUI law as an effort to deter underage drinking and driving. You may believe there is little that could be done to defend against the charge. In fact, several options could be successful, based on the facts in the case, including defending the charge and seeking an acquittal, or pursuing alternatives to jail time, fines, and other penalties.

Juvenile & Underage DUI Defense Attorney

Every case has unique facts. Engage legal representation immediately after an arrest. An arrest is a frightening event for anyone, and a young driver can be extremely fearful and inspired to speak with a friendly officer. Exercise your right to remain silent, and contact the Law Offices of Cotter C. Conway. 

A young driver charged with DUI may have options to avoid conviction, a criminal record, and other penalties. The charge could be reduced to a lesser charge through negotiations with the prosecutor. If it is determined that law enforcement did not have probable cause for a traffic stop, the case may be dismissed altogether.
