San Francisco Underage Alcohol Possession Lawyers
In California, minor in possession (MIP) is a serious criminal charge that can have long-term consequences for your driver's license and your criminal record. If you have been charged with underage alcohol possession, you should contact an experienced defense attorney right away.
At The Law Offices of Michael L. Davidson, our San Mateo minor-in-possession attorneys aggressively defend clients throughout the Bay Area against underage alcohol charges. Our experienced criminal defense lawyers provide personal attention to every case we accept.
Helping Clients Avoid the Serious Consequences of MIP Charges
If you have been charged with MIP, you may be facing a number of serious criminal penalties, including jail time, probation, fines and assessments. An underage drinking conviction on your criminal record may also have consequences for your education and employment.
In addition, if you are convicted of MIP in California, you will lose your driver's license for a full year, even if you were not driving a vehicle at the time of your arrest.
If you are under 18, your charges will be handled as a juvenile offense, which may have different consequences. Our attorneys are experienced at defending clients against MIP charges in both the juvenile and adult criminal courts.
