Under 21 Charges for DUI in Atlanta, GA

Posted By Richard Lawson on Mar 26, 2011 11:20am PDT

City of Atlanta police officers write thousands of DUI citations each year. The Atlanta courts are practically bursting at the seams trying to prosecute thousands of citizens for DUI. Many of these cases are for drivers who are under the legal drinking age of 21. The legal blood alcohol limit for a DUI is .08 for a driver over 21 and .04 for a driver driving a commercial vehicle. For a driver under 21, the legal blood alcohol limit is only a .02.

DUIs have serious consequences, but those penalties can be even more profound for a young person. A DUI conviction can affect career and education plans. Keep in mind however, that people are innocent until proven guilty. A charge certainly does not mean an arrest. Atlanta DUI cases are challenged and won on a consistent basis by experienced Atlanta DUI attorneys like Richard Lawson. A good DUI lawyer can help underage drivers get the best possible outcome for their case which may include a reduction of the charge to reckless driving in an effort to keep a DUI conviction off their record. DUI charges can also be won altogether at a jury trial.
