Questions
-
What is Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)?
Answer
BAC refers to the amount of alcohol detected in the blood stream. A person’s BAC level can be measured in multiple ways, including by breath, blood, urine, or other chemical means. Some police officers may measure BAC by asking an individual to submit to a breathalyzer test or other type of chemical test that will quantify the amount of alcohol in the blood. The legal limit is .08% BAC, but for underage drivers, this legal limit may be much lower.
-
What is a sobriety test?
Answer
Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs) are types of tests that police officers use to determine if a driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. These tests are completely voluntary and a driver can politely refuse to take them at any time.
-
Are there defenses available for my child’s case?
Answer
Because every state varies in how they handle underage DUI cases, you should speak with a defense attorney right away. We give you the opportunity to discuss your child’s case and their potential defense options. Regardless of the nature of the offense, we help create a custom defense strategy that is tailored to your child’s needs (long-term and short-term), and we stay focused on securing the best possible outcome.
-
Will my child go to jail?
Answer
Every case is different but it is highly unlikely that your child will see the inside of a jail cell. Most juvenile cases are handled in the juvenile court system, which is completely different from adult court. Some underage DUI cases may be handled in an adult court, however, depending on the circumstances (such as age). Do not risk your child’s future by going without legal representation – speak with an attorney now.
