Scottsdale Underage DUI Lawyer

Underage DUI Attorney in Scottsdale

Arizona has "zero tolerance" when it comes to underage drinking and driving.  If an underage person is found to be driving with any alcohol registering on a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) testing device, even .01%, they will be charged with a DUI. The underage person will face the penalties of a first time DUI charge, which includes jail time, thousands of dollars in fines, and community service. There is a possibility of vehicle impoundment and the convicted underage individual will certainly lose the right to drive. If your child has been arrested and charged with drunk driving it is crucial that you contact Scottsdale DUI lawyer immediately for legal representation for the case.

Aggressive Defense for Underage DUI

The Knowles Law Firm is well-prepared to fight in the case of underage DUI charges. It is necessary to review all the details of the case, including the arrest and what tests were done. Fighting DUI charges takes a certain knowledge and skill, and your child will be under the care of a skilled defense lawyer. All children make mistakes.  If your child has had a very small amount of alcohol, even half of a bottle of beer, they can have a BAC level of .02%. 

This "zero tolerance" policy is intended to be a deterrent to stop teens from drinking and driving, which is something everyone can agree to. However, many good kids have made a mistake and the question is, would a quarter of a beer be enough to go to jail? When the individual may not have been driving in a reckless manner, or other indications of impairment? As a parent, you must decide how you want to proceed with your child. If you feel that they have been punished sufficiently already, you should call the Knowles Law Firm immediately to begin the defense. In some cases the BAC testing device has been found to be poorly maintained or faulty, and the underage individual actually had no alcohol at all.
