A Law Firm Defending Drivers Under 21 Charged With DWI

DWI charges can be especially problematic if you (or your child) are not of legal age to drink. Anyone can be charged with DUI/DWI if they are under 21 and caught by law enforcement with an amount alcohol in their blood that registers at .02% BAC (blood alcohol content) or above while operating a motor vehicle. This zero-tolerance policy enacted by Minnesota legislators can lead to DWI charges when the individual involved has consumed the smallest amount of alcohol. In fact, a .02% BAC potentially could register even without consuming any alcohol, due to the margin of error in breath testing devices. You will need the legal counsel and dedicated representation of an attorney who is experienced handling underage DWI cases if a charge against you has been filed.
