Orlando DUI Defense Lawyer Underage DUI

Aggressive Defense for Underage DUI Charges

Has your son or daughter been arrested on DUI charges?  If so, it is important to understand what a DUI arrest will mean for their future in regards to getting into college and finding a job.

The first thing any parent needs to do is contact an experienced Orlando DUI attorney who specializes in underage DUI cases.  Our legal team at Katz & Phillips, P.A. is ready to help your child fight his or her charges and hopefully avoid conviction.

 

Underage DUI Law

Florida state law states that it is illegal for any driver under the age of 21 to have a blood alcohol concentration of 0.02 percent or higher.  For this reason, police officers will arrest any underage driver with a detectable amount of alcohol on their breath.

First-time underage DUI offenders can expect a license suspension, however, other factors can lead to enhanced penalties, including:

  • Driving with a BAC between .05 and .08 percent
  • Driving with a BAC above .08 percent
  • Causing a fatal accident or a DUI accident with injury
  • Driving with other minors in the vehicle, especially a minor younger than 14 years old

Penalties for any of the above factors may include imprisonment, heavy fines, community service, mandatory DUI classes or longer license suspensions.

 

At Katz & Phillips, P.A., we understand how stressful and overwhelming underage DUI charges can be for parents.  Our attorneys dedicate themselves to their clients through the entire legal process to resolve their case in the best possible outcome.
