Driving Under Twenty One After Consuming Alcohol or Marijuana
In many respects, a driving under twenty one after consuming alcohol charge is similar to a DUI. Most individuals have heard that it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol content above .08. However, most minors don’t realize that if they are under 21, the legal limit is .02. That is an extremely low amount. No amount of marijuana in your system is legal if you are under 21.
This charge is a misdemeanor, which means the maximum penalty is 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. This is lower than a DUI which has a maximum penalty of 364 days in jail and a $5,000 fine.
Just like with an MIP charge, this is often the first time an individual has ever been in trouble. The problem with this charge is the driving component. Many prosecutors will be especially concerned with the minor’s conduct because they possibly endangered the lives of other people on the roadway, including maybe even passengers.

"I can't say enough great things about Jason Newcombe Law Office. I am retired military and I highly recommend Jason Newcombe Law Office. I reached out to Jason's office after sitting for hours reviewing multiple Domestic Violence Law Offices in King County. He responded before that day was over. I spoke with Jason's both in-person and by phone; felt very comfortable with his years of experience and straight talk. He took on my case, took me through the process with sound advice. The Attorney Erin Lane who accompanied me with my court appearances; can't praise and thank her enough for her time, selflessness and educational information prior to each court appearance. She made a really daunting task for me less fearful, given such grim circumstances. I am forever grateful for Jason and the Team of Attorneys." Tommy Harville

"I cannot thank Mr. Newcombe and his staff enough. They are awesome. When I first contacted his offices, I didn't know what to do. I was overwhelmed and confused. He did an amazing job, I highly recommend him! I had two cases, and he got both of them dismissed. If you are in trouble, do yourself a favor, give him a call. " David
