Underage DUI Charges in Arizona
Get Help from Our Scottsdale DUI Attorney
It is illegal for individuals under 21 years of age to consume alcohol, especially when they get behind the wheel after drinking. Those under 21 who are stopped by law enforcement and found to have any amount of alcohol in their system can be arrested for underage DUI. If you or a loved one is under 21 and has been charged with underage DUI, call our Scottsdale DUI attorney right away to discuss your best options for moving forward. While there are very few exceptions to the law forbidding consumption of alcohol by persons under 21, Arizona is a zero-tolerance state, which means it does not permit anyone under the legal age to have a BAC above .00 while driving.
You could be facing harsh penalties and charges for an underage DUI, so retain counsel from our DUI lawyer today!
Consequences of an Underage DUI
A conviction for underage DUI can bring a 1 to 10 days in jail, a fine of $1,600, and a driver's license suspension for up to 360 days.
It's possible to be charged with the following crimes in addition to underage DUI:
- Distributing alcohol to other minors
- Minor in possession of alcohol
- Soliciting alcohol
- Child endangerment law violations
- Possession of false identification
- Moving and vehicle maintenance violations
These crimes could all increase the severity of the penalties you are facing. You could also be dropped by your insurer with an underage DUI conviction. At best, your monthly premiums would increase a few hundred dollars for three to five years. You will need to contact your insurer to obtain an SR-22 certificate to show the DMV in order to have your license reinstated.

I screwed up bad by not getting this lawyer. He gave me a flat rate which I thought was a little high for what seemed like a slam dunk case. I stupidly went for another lawyer's sales pitch who promised to go after corrupt cops (he didn't). I ended up spending twice as much for bumbling incompetence. I received more good advice FREE from Randall than the bum I paid. If I need a Lawyer again in AZ, it will be Randall.- Former Client

I paid him $5,000 to do quick trial after firing my old lawyer. It only took him 3 days to get ready. We won and he sent me $1,500 back telling me since it only took him 3 days, the balance of the retainer was owed me. Wow. Never heard of that before! Very refreshing! We won too! I knew we would. Good guy, good lawyer.- Former Client
