Defending the Accused of Underage DUI

A criminal charge of driving under the influence is never something to take lightly.

This is especially true if you are facing criminal charges that include aggravating factors.

In the state of Georgia, an underage driver only has to have a blood alcohol concentration of over 0.02 to be criminally charged with driving under the influence. This, however, can be achieved by consuming very little alcohol; there is a very good chance that the driver who not under the influence at all. This penalties, however, that correspond to this time of criminal charge are nothing to be flippant about. If you have recently been pulled over for a DUI and under the legal drinking age, you will be facing penalties that are remarkably severe, including a six month driver's license suspension, up to a year incarceration, up to $1000 in fines, and a minimum of 40 hours of community service.

It is also important to realize that the penalties will vary depending on whether the BAC was between 0.02 and 0.08 or if the underage driver was over the legal limit even for over 21 drivers. If the BAC was over 0.08 or if the underage driver refused to submit to a breath test, the driver's license suspension will be for twelve months. Due to these severe penalties, if you are facing something of this nature, you cannot leave your future up to the whims of chance.
