Underage DUI

Underage DUI Attorney in Miami

Charged With DUI As A Minor? Call Me!

For juveniles and young people under the age of 21 charged with drivingunder the influence (DUI) in Florida, the state has enacted a zero-tolerance legal limit of 0.02% blood alcohol content (BAC). For DUI cases involving a driver who is under the age of 21 in Florida, the legal limit means that even one drink can put the driver well over the legal limit.

A young person charged with DUI in Miami will need effective legal representation from a Miami DUI attorney. Because Florida DUI laws are so strict, minors who have been arrested for DUI will face serious consequences. Just because they are of younger age does not mean that prosecutors will take the alleged crime any less seriously or apply less severe punishment than they would in an adult DUI case. In fact, juveniles (under 18) are prosecuted in adult court under current Florida law.

What Penalties Could Your Child Face?

Minors who have been accused of DUI will face severe penalties such as incarceration, probation, fines, increased insurance costs, community service, court fees, and driver’s license suspension. The indirect consequences of an underage DUI in Miami tend to be even costlier; an arrest can result in serious problems with future employment as well as social or educational opportunities.

For first-time offenders, penalties can include:

  • License suspension for up to six months
  • Jail time, which will depend on the BAC level and other factors
  • Up to $2,000 in fines
  • Increased insurance premiums exceeding $200

To ensure that your child is not subject to additional charges, such as minor in possession of a controlled substance, alcohol distribution, or soliciting alcohol, seek the counsel of a qualified underage DUI Defense lawyer in Miami. Your child’s future could hinge on your choice of legal representation, so be sure to enlist the service of a lawyer who you can trust to defend your greatest and most prized treasure: Your child.
