If you are charged with any criminal offense, you need qualified representation to assist you in your goal to vindicate yourself and/or minimize the punishment.
There are two types of criminal offenses; misdemeanors and felonies. There are ranges of punishments for criminal offenses and you need to consult a qualified attorney so you understand the potential consequences and any defenses you might have.
You can be charged with a DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol) as either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on many factors such as having prior DUI convictions, license suspension, and/or having children in your vehicle, etc. If you are under 21, you can be charged with minor in possession of alcohol or minor consumption.
If you are arrested for a DUI, you not only face court punishment; such as fines, jail time, etc.; as well as your driving privileges are subject to suspension or revocation. In addition, if convicted, your insurance rates increase dramatically and sometimes your insurance company will drop you and you may be required to obtain a SR22 insurance bond in order to obtain insurance.
If you are arrested as a juvenile, you will be brought to Court in juvenile court. If the crime is significant, you can be charged as an adult. Juvenile court is very different from justice court or superior court in that it is held in a private forum and the steps are different as well as the options for punishment.
