When a Child Has Been Picked Up for Underage Drinking
As a former prosecutor and criminal defense lawyer whose knowledge extends to all aspects of juvenile law, I know how difficult it can be for parents whose sons or daughters have been charged with underage drinking. I also know how tough it can be on the juveniles themselves.
If an underage drinking charge such as minor in possession or DUI or an underage illegal or prescription drug charge is not appropriately dealt with now, the consequences of a juvenile conviction can follow your child for the rest of his or her adult life. Contact the Law Office of Henry S. Hilles, III, for guidance.

In my work with parents and children regarding underage drinking charges, I help them understand the charge the juvenile is facing and the potential consequences of conviction.
When we meet during a free initial consultation, I carefully review the legal options facing your teenager based on the specifics of the situation. Most people emerge from this consultation feeling reassured and armed with information they need to make appropriate choices regarding their legal defense.
I have strong relationships with experts, including counselors and addiction evaluators, who can serve as resources for you and at the same time assist me in presenting a vigorous and comprehensive defense against an underage drinking or DUI charge.
Retain an Attorney Experienced in the Juvenile Justice System
A key principle of the juvenile justice system is that the courts are not out to simply punish underage drinkers or juvenile DUI offenders. Instead, in juvenile courts, judges should be focused on rehabilitation and help juveniles get the help they need so they won't make the same mistake again. Work with an attorney who can help you understand your legal options and navigate the juvenile justice system to obtain the best possible results.
Teenagers make mistakes. Mistakes should not cost them their future.
Going to court without a lawyer and simply admitting guilt can result in a permanent criminal record. My law office works to avoid or minimize the consequences of a conviction and has helped many clients gain entry into the ARD program or a juvenile program equivalent to the ARD program. Put my experience to work for your family.
