In the state of Tennessee, if a driver under the age of 21 is found to have .02 percent alcohol in their system, they will be charged with minor under age DWI. Regardless of whether a minor’s driving is impaired or their blood alcohol level is under .08, any driver under the age of 21 found to have alcohol in their system faces a two year suspension of their license. Understanding your legal options and being prepared to work with the court to avoid expensive fines and other legal complications is essential. Tennessee DUI defense attorney Ed Ryan guides his clients through the process, taking steps when possible to reduce charges and avoid future legal and financial troubles.

 

Avoiding Financial and Legal Complications

 

Underage Driving While Intoxicated is a similar offense to DUI in Tennessee, however, does not accompany jail time and results in a $250 fine versus $350 minimum fine for DUI. Although a underage DWI is considered a lesser charge than DUI, it maintains much of the stigma and negative effects on a person’s life as a regular “adult” DUI. Therefore, the defense of an Underage DWI is treated as just as significant as the potential for a regular DUI conviction.. Additionally, the cost of insurance will be extremely high for a number of years after they have finished with their initial license suspension.

 

Ed Ryan is an experienced under age DWI defense lawyer that works hard to minimize the likelihood of harsh sentences for his clients.
