Lawrenceville MIP Charges Attorneys
With Additional Offices in Covington and Sugar Hill
Minors found to be in possession of alcohol can be easy targets for law enforcement and prosecutors, in part because people often fail to take minor in possession (MIP) charges seriously. At our Georgia law firm, The Wren Law Firm, we urge young people under 21 and their parents to consult an attorney, as soon as possible, to learn about the options available and the consequences of MIP charges. Do not accept any plea offers from the prosecution before speaking with a knowledgeable legal advocate.
Investigating the Charge
Our lawyers defend clients charged with being a minor in possession. We force the prosecution to prove that the accused actually had alcohol under his or her control. We determine what our client was doing at the time of the arrest. Was he or she driving? A passenger in a car? At a party? We explore the prosecution's evidence and ensure that it was legally obtained.
Seeking Diversion for First-Time Offenders
The consequences of a conviction on underage drinking charges can be significant. Individuals will have life-long criminal records that can affect their ability to find jobs or enter some educational or training programs. We fight to have clients enrolled in diversion programs that provide alcohol counseling and education. Individuals who complete the diversion program successfully will have the MIP charges dismissed. Our attorneys file the petitions for clients seeking entry into local diversion programs.
