Need a Minor in Possession Attorney in Oakland County, Michigan?

Protecting Underage Drivers in Oakland County, MI

A minor in possession of alcohol is perhaps the most common conviction that minors face. However, it is a bigger deal than you may think. Although it is a charge faced when you are a minor, prosecutors and judges make sure that a minor in possession charge is stamped on your permanent record for life. A criminal conviction can impact your future in a shocking variety of ways: potential employers will have access to your permanent record, the ability to travel internationally and obtain a vista will be hindered, and the cost and availability of attempting to get a loan for a car or house may be affected. To protect your or your child’s future, get in touch with a Flint DUI attorney immediately for assistance.

What Penalties Does a Minor Face?

Like many other crimes, there are different ranges of penalization depending on whether it has been a first or subsequent charge. Common punitive actions include community service, alcohol screening, and alcohol treatment and rehabilitation. A minor may even have to face jail time if he or she as convicted the crime more than once, and only if he or she has failed to complete treatment, probation, screening, counseling, community service, or to pay a fine.

How to Manage a Minor in Possession Crime

There are some instances in which a minor in possession conviction may be reduced, dismissed or for an acquittal: if your job requires the possession or transportation of alcohol, you are 19 or 20 years old and have consumed alcohol in a place where it is not illegal (an example being Canada), a class you are enrolled in requires you to consume alcohol, and a religious ceremony you partook in required the consumption of alcohol. Unless there is a valid exception to the warrant requirement, the police are unable to force you to submit to a chemical test.

Client Testimonials

Criminal Attorney Shaun Marks is an excellent guy and worth every penny. I'm an 18-year student athlete with a summer job on the way, going to jail wasn't an option for me when being charged with driving under the influence of marijuana and a possession. Somehow dropping dirty for my sentencing, Shaun was able to work with the judge to allow me another test to prove I was clean. The outcome was dropping my driving charge...

I would recommend Shaun marks and I give him five stars. He has to be the best in the state of Michigan. When my husband got into some legal issues, he sat down with us and did some real talk, I can't express enough on how much I appreciate him for taking the time and counseling my husband and I. Plus the awesome work he did for getting my husband out of trouble. Thank you Shaun. Our family will always be grateful for your hard work!
Michelle Thompson
I called Mr Marks in a panic after getting myself in a terrible situation! One that could have landed me in a very bad out come. Not knowing how to proceed, Mr. Marks called me back within minutes of my email to him (during late evening hours). He didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear, he was very upfront with me about the possible outcome. Then he proceeded to explain how the process would go, (very slowly) and he was correct...
