DRUNK DRIVING AS A MINOR

SEATTLE UNDER 21 DUI LAWYERS

Washington law makes it illegal for any underage person (under 21 years old) to operate a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. If a person is under 21, and has a blood alcohol content of .02 percent or higher, they can be charged with underage DUI, which is a misdemeanor offense. A blood alcohol content level at or above .02 percent is evidence of a violation of the law, and underage violators will be charged accordingly. Police officers, prosecutors, and judges are known for being tough on underage drinkers in an effort to deter future delinquent behaviors.

To them, if an underage person is punished harshly for their delinquent actions now, they will be less likely to drive drunk in the future. If you have been charged with underage DUI, it is very important for you to have representation from an experienced Seattle DUI lawyer who knows how to handle these types of charges.
