Is Your Teen Facing Charges for Possessing Alcohol?

Teens face immense peer pressure as they grow into adulthood. When they see their friends drinking a beer or two and getting away with it, they might think about trying it themselves. These youthful mistakes can result in them facing charges for possessing the alcohol, which can have a negative impact on their future. College admissions, job applications, and other significant milestones will be more challenging when your teen has an alcohol possession conviction on their record. For that reason, you need to get in touch with a juvenile rights attorney immediately if your child is arrested for possession of alcohol. Our compassionate lawyer has a wealth of experience defending minors for possession charges and can provide you and your child with sound legal advice on this matter. Contact us now to learn more.

What Does the Law Say About Minors in Possession of Alcohol?

Back in the day, you might have enjoyed the privilege of purchasing alcohol once you reached the age of 18. In 1984, that privilege ended. Today, a young person must be 21 or older to purchase and consume alcoholic beverages. But unlike in 1984, today’s teens often take selfies of themselves at parties, posting them on social media for all to see. With evidence so readily available to law enforcement, a teen facing possession charges needs all the legal help they can get to lessen the consequences for their lapse in judgment. Our juvenile rights law firm stands ready to help your teen throughout the process as they contend for the best possible outcome. Set up a consultation with our lawyer today.
