Underage DUI & Zero Tolerance Laws

Find Legal Defense from a Corona Underage DUI Lawyer!

Across the country, there is a zero tolerance policy that is enforced for anyone under the age of 21 who drinks and drives. In fact, the laws for underage drinking are even stricter than those for a regular DUI. For example, you can get arrested if your blood-alcohol percentage measures .01% or more. This only amounts to drinking less than one can of beer or glass of wine. That is precisely why you need a Corona underage DUI lawyer on your side if you have been accused of underage DUI.

A conviction can severely impact a person's future prospects and place undue hardships on their family's lives. You need to protect yourself or your family member from these charges. Call Michael J. LaCilento, Attorney at Law at (951) 335-0088 today to retain trusted legal representation!
