Commonly abbreviated in Idaho as MIP/C, underage drinking or open container violations expose young people to the risk of a driver's license suspension, whether or not anyone involved in the incident was driving at the time. Our goal in representing a minor in a case of underage drinking or possession is not only to avoid criminal punishment, but also to protect his or her driver's license.
There are many other ways for an underage person to get in trouble for drinking. Any minor caught in a drunk driving incident runs the risk of conviction for a blood alcohol concentration as low as .02 percent. In practical terms, that's any measurable evidence of alcohol consumption.
We approach the defense of underage DUI the same way we would any other drunk driving case, with an emphasis on defeating the charges whenever we can and minimizing the damage to your license and record if we can't get a dismissal or victory at trial.
Cox Law's attorneys also represent juveniles and underage college students on charges ranging from fake ID offenses to DUI felonies such as hit-and-run accidents or vehicular manslaughter. The most serious charges along this spectrum can expose you to the risk of prison. Our proactive approach to the defense of these cases can make the most of your opportunities toward a favorable outcome.
Our law firm offers clients an extra measure of defense leverage through our demonstrated willingness to take a case to trial whenever it's in our client's best interests.
