San Luis Obispo is a college town, which means there are frequent arrests for alcohol-related offenses. For a person under the age of 21 years, one of the harshest penalties is losing his or her license for a year. Your driver's license is on the line. A conviction for Minor In Possession of Alcohol or other alcohol-related offenses results in a one-year driver's license suspension. If you don't have a driver's license, you will be unable to get one for one year. Partnering with an experienced San Luis Obispo County underage drinking lawyer can provide guidance on courses of action to limit the length of the suspension to weeks instead of a year.
California Minor in Possession (MIP) Attorney for Cal-Poly and Cuesta College Students
I have extensive experience with all alcohol-related charges that can affect your California driver's license. I'm ready to explore every viable alternative to prevent a yearlong license suspension. If the facts support a meritorious defense, I can help you fight the charge. If there are no viable defenses, then I would work to get you into a "Diversion Program" that would limit the length of time that you would be without a license.
By undertaking the Young Adult Diversion (YAD) program, one can avoid the severe license suspension. Instead of a full year without a license, you could get your license back within six weeks. The key, however, is to act quickly and decisively. I'm ready to work with you.
