Garrett & Associates, PC our attorney can help you or someone you know minimize the fines, penalties and potential consequences of an underage possession arrest. With an experienced and reliable lawyer on your side, you can avoid letting a weekend run-in with the law affect your future.

Underage Drinking Arrests
Many parents and kids are unaware that an underage drinking arrest can lead to a suspended driver's license (even if you weren't driving), and other unexpected penalties. It can potentially affect your status at school if you attend one of several local colleges such as William & Mary, Old Dominion or Virginia Wesleyan.
Along with DUI and minor drug charges, underage drinking is one of the most common kinds of cases we handle, and our attorneys are focused on helping you find solutions. Short of aggravating factors such as resisting arrest, it is also an area in which one of our lawyers can commonly guide clients on a path to avoid serious consequences.
The law office of James D. Garrett & Associates, PC brings experience and a practical approach to work in and out of the courtroom. Our lawyers fully explore every option available to reach a positive conclusion.
Your attorney will negotiate with the prosecutor or work in court to have the charges dismissed or the penalties substantially reduced. Most of the people involved in the legal system recognize that while underage drinking needs to be curbed, the penalties involved don't need to become a burden to younger adults just getting a start on their life. Our lawyers help that kind of practical thinking prevail.
