Depending on the facts of your case, we may be able to negotiate a disposition that takes advantage of a first offender program for individuals between 18 and 20. With the first offender program, your case could be continued for dismissal (no criminal conviction). We are also knowledgeable about alternative dispositions that may be available for juveniles under the age of 18 accused of underage drinking.
