The state of Delaware enforces ever-increasing penalties on drunk driving offenders very strictly. For offenders under the age of 21, there is a zero tolerance law. If you have been charged with underage drunk driving of any motor vehicle, including a moped or any other off-highway vehicle, you can be arrested for drunk driving, lose your license and face significant fines just for being a minor in possession of alcohol or for having a "measurable" amount of alcohol on your breath.

Georgetown Underage DUI Attorneys
Without an experienced attorney, prosecutors will hit you with the heaviest charges they can, and they will work hard to make them stick in an effort to influence your decisions in the future and make an example out of you. We know this because our defense attorneys are former Sussex County prosecutors. Partners John Sandy and Vincent Vickers have been representing clients throughout Delaware since the 1970s and founded a criminal defense practice together in 1983.
We are familiar with the strategies and the arsenal of resources prosecution lawyers have available to them because we have used them as well. We can match the aggressive tactics of prosecutors and properly prepare your defense for minimizing the strict consequences of "Baby DUI" charges, including license revocation and fines.
The Delaware zero tolerance law enforced on drivers under the age of 21 allows the police to arrest offenders and charge them with DUI for any measurable amount of alcohol. We often challenge the accuracy of Breathalyzer tests, especially when the "detectable" or "measurable" amount is so low. We work hard to reduce costly impacts on your freedoms, driving privileges and insurance.
