Dallas Under 21 DUI Defense Lawyer
Many minors who are arrested for alcohol and drug offenses such as DUI, MIP, and MIC make the mistake of pleading guilty. They think that by simply paying the fine they can put the event behind them. But paying a fine is an admission of guilt, and as a result, the offense can follow you for life.
If you are a minor and have been arrested for DUI or an alcohol or drug related offense, you should talk to an experienced defense attorney. In Texas, there are a number of alternatives to conviction and incarceration. You may even be able to completely clear your record of the arrest or conviction.
An attorney at The Law Offices of C.H. "Hank" Judin, III can explain these options and discuss how we may be able to help you. For a free initial consultation, call (214) 750-8555.

Protecting Your Record, Minimizing Your Penalties
Fortunately for minors, the State of Texas offers means by which juveniles can minimize the penalties they face and keep their records clean. With a deferred probation judgment for example, the minor can avoid having a conviction entered on the record, provided that he or she complies with the terms of the probation. At the age of 21, you can then file a petition for expunction, in which the record of the arrest and probation is destroyed. It is as if the event never happened at all.
