Aggressive Defense Against Underage DUI Charges
In Virginia, tough underage drinking laws make it easy to be charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) if you are under age 21. However, you can still fight the charges against you with the help of an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
If you have been charged with DUI, you need a criminal defense lawyer who knows how to fight the charges brought against you. Please call The Law Offices of Christopher Amolsch offices in Alexandria at 703.683.2020 or Leesburg at 703.969.2214. Your initial consultation is free.
Zero Tolerance
Anyone under age 21 who is pulled over while driving and has blood alcohol content (BAC) of at least .02 percent and less than .08 percent faces strict penalties, including a fine of up to $500, six-month driver's license suspension and a possible jail term.
An underage driver who has a BAC of .08 percent or greater will face the same DUI penalties as an adult, which include:
- Jail sentence
- Fines
- Loss of driver's license for one year (for a first offense)
Multiple DUI convictions will result in more serious consequences such as additional jail time. A DUI offense with a BAC of .15 percent or more requires you to have an ignition interlock device installed on your vehicle.
