I'm Under 21 and was Arrested for a DWI - What Happens Next? Lubbock DWI Attorney Stephen Hamilton

Board certified criminal defense attorney Stephen Hamilton, practicing in Lubbock, Texas, talks about what you should do if you're arrested for a DWI -- but you're under 21.

For a person over 21, having alcohol in your system is allowed only as long as you're not intoxicated. However, a minor under the age of 21 can be ticketed or even arrested for any detectable amount of alcohol -- which could be a sip, or even just the smell of alcohol on your breath. Sometimes this arrest can be changed to a DIUM (driving under the influence of a minor) which is not as a severe as a DWI. Among probation, court fines, fees and alcohol counseling, you may also suffer a driver's license suspension or even being mandated to having an interlock device in your vehicle. In this situation it's important to get a lawyer involved to help bring the best outcome for your case. Watch the video now to learn more.
