Underage Drinking and Driving
The state of Michigan takes drinking and driving very seriously. The state legislature has enacted tough drunk driving charges, and law enforcement personnel are actively on the look out for anyone who is driving under the influence of alcohol.
People under the age of 21 are particularly at risk of an underage DUI arrest for two reasons. First, college students in the freshman and sophomore years frequently attend parties where alcohol is present. Second, the Michigan Criminal Code makes it a crime under its "Zero Tolerance" law for a person under the age of 21 to drive with any amount of alcohol in his or her system. You do not have to be over the legal limit to be convicted of Underage DUI.
If you have been charged with Underage DUI, it is critical to retain an experienced criminal defense attorney who will protect your rights and seek the best possible result in your case. As a former prosecutor, I have extensive experience in all drunk driving (DUI/DWI/OWI) charges.
