Phoenix Underage DUI Lawyers

Whether or not your ability to drive is actually impaired, if you are under the age of 21 and have a BAC (blood alcohol content) above 0.00% you can be charged with underage DUI in Arizona. This type of offense can severely impact your future. You can be incarcerated into either a youth facility or if charged as an adult, prison. Your driving privilege will most likely be affected and obtaining vehicle insurance may become almost impossible. If you are a student, you may also lose scholarships and the right to join or be part of any school sports, due to school regulations. Your best chance at proving your innocence and maintaining your freedom is to hire a knowledgeable Phoenix underage DUI lawyer.

Underage DUI is strictly enforced in Arizona. Accidents are often committed by teenage drivers and young adults. Due to this, Law enforcement is very cautious and is always on the lookout for DUI offenders. Whether you disobeyed traffic signs, had open alcoholic beverages in your vehicle or were failing to drive safely, if an officer has any suspicion that you are under the influence they will pull you over to investigate. The investigation may include: sobriety tests, breath and blood tests, urine tests and a complete search of your person and vehicle. If they decide to put you under arrest and charge you with underage DUI, you have the right to remain silent until an attorney is present.

The Phoenix DUI attorneys at Beauchamp Law Office can defend you against any DUI-related charge that you may face. In addition to criminal DUI penalties, your driver’s license can be suspended for up to 2 years if you do not schedule a MVD Hearing within 15 days of the DUI offense. At Beauchamp Law Office we can represent you at this hearing and will make every attempt to have the MVD reinstate your Arizona driving privileges. It is also very important that you understand that even if you were functioning normally or had a very small amount of alcohol in your system, due to Arizona’s no tolerance laws you can still face a jail or prison sentence.
