Could I go to jail for underage DUI?

If you’ve been arrested for underage DUI, you probably have so many questions swirling around your head:

  • What will happen now?
  • What should I do?
  • Who can help me?
  • What are my parents going to think?
  • What’s going to happen to my future? Is it ruined?

Pause – take a deep breath. Hyperventilating isn’t going to help your situation. Think this through and follow this advice to secure the best possible outcome in your underage DUI case.

What will happen now?

After you are arrested for underage DUI, the police officer takes you to the police station, records all your identification information, and may require you to submit to a chemical test. Then you’ll probably be released to your parents or other legal guardian.

What are my parents going to think? What’s going to happen to my future? Is it ruined?

Attorney Chambers will gladly go over all the facts of your case and give you specific, personalized legal advice during your initial consultation. In the meantime, here’s a bit of reassurance that everything will be okay –

Sure, your parents may condemn you and wonder how you could be so irresponsible. You may be grounded for many weeks or months to come. But if they’re like most parents, no matter what mistakes you may make, they will always love you and support you. Remember that as you endure their wrath – it’s because they love you.

As for your future, it’s not going to be ruined. If you’re convicted of underage DUI, it won’t become part of your permanent record, because almost all underage DUI charges are infractions (not misdemeanors or felonies). There’s no risk of jail time for any infraction.

Though you will have to report it on college and job applications, so it might affect your ability to get into your top choice for college or get that highly competitive job. But your life isn’t over! There are ways to beat underage DUI charges – and even if you are convicted, there won’t be many long-term consequences.

Many people have had a bit to drink, didn’t feel drunk, and decided to drive themselves home – only to end up being arrested for underage DUI. While your situation is serious, don’t give up hope! Everything will be okay in time.

Contact the Chambers Law Firm today to prevent a conviction in your underage DUI case. Call 714-760-4088, email dchambers@clfca.com, or use the chat box ASAP after your arrest.
