Underage Drinking

The Hale Law Firm has extensive experience in handling cases of underage drinking.

There are two major charges that we handle in this category: Minor in Possession (MIP) and Minor Driving Under the Influence (MDUI).

Minor in Possession (MIP)

This charge means you are being charged with consuming alcohol under the age of 21. This is punishable by up to a year in prison and a $5000 fine. If you are in school or plan to attend school, a conviction of this charge may be grounds for barring admission or expulsion if you are currently enrolled. Furthermore, a conviction in some cases will negatively affect your ability to receive financial aid. Attorneys at the Hale Law Firm are experts at getting MIPs dismissed. Please call us today to see how we can help you.

Minor Driving Under the Influence (MDUI)

A minor DUI is a very serious criminal offense. If you have been charged with a minor DUI, you are facing the possibility of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. You also face a license suspension of up to a year. Like an MIP conviction, a minor DUI on your record will have strong negative consequences on your ability to go to school and find employment in the long term. However, attorneys at the Hale Law Firm get these charges dismissed or reduced on a daily basis. Contact us now to see how we can help you.
