Minnesota Underage DUI Defense Lawyer
When charging a minor with underage drinking, it is a more black-and-white issue than a case involving an adult. The legal limit for minors is .00 blood alcohol content (BAC), not .08, as individuals under the age of 21 are not permitted to drink alcohol. If your child has been arrested on suspicion of underage DUI, it is important to have an experienced juvenile defense lawyer handling the case.

When people plead guilty to underage DUI, they lose their driver's license for 30 days.
Penalties for Minor DUI
As mentioned before, DUI is a different situation for minors because they are technically not allowed to have any alcohol in their system, unlike adults, who have a legal limit of .08. When minors are arrested on suspicion of not a drop DUI, they do not lose their driver's license right away. They lose their license only when convicted of the not a drop DUI. However, if their blood alcohol content is .08 or above at the time of the arrest, they will lose their license right away like an adult would and experience other adult license sanctions.
While there are similarities in some aspects of minor DUI and adult DUI, it is critical to have an attorney who is familiar with juvenile delinquency and handles these cases regularly. Christa Groshek takes a holistic approach to these cases and will seek help for minors who have gotten into trouble with alcohol in addition to protecting their rights in court.
