If you are underage and facing drinking and driving charges in Tempe, or anywhere else in the greater Phoenix area for that matter, it is critical that you contact a DUI attorney in Arizona immediately.
A “minor DUI” refers to the Arizona law prohibiting underage drivers from diving with any blood alcohol content, or BAC, at all. For adult drivers in Arizona, a “traditional DUI” is charged for a BAC of 0.08% or higher. Most young people charged with a DUI have not completed their higher education or established their career, and may not understand the future complications that can arise for them if convicted. If you are under 21, a DUI conviction can cause numerous problems down the road when you try to apply for jobs, student loans or college housing.
Furthermore, it is highly recommended that you do not plead guilty to minor DUI charges on your own, as the outcome can literally affect the rest of your life. Therefore, the DUI law team at JacksonWhite sincerely urges you to discuss your DUI case with a DUI attorney in Arizona, especially if you are underage.
