Handling Alcohol Violations for Persons Under Age 21.
Free Telephone Consultation: (623) 847-7117.
The State of Arizona has an extremely harsh law regarding drinking and driving by underage drivers. While adults must have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 to be charged with DUI, minors and young adults (up to age 21) can be charged with DUI for having a trace of alcohol in their system (.01 BAC), even if there are no physical signs of impairment.
However, the penalties for an underage DUI in Glendale, AZ are the same (or worse) as for adults. On a first offense, a conviction may carry:
You must be age 21 to legally drink in Arizona, and state agencies and organizations are trying to clamp down on underage drinking. Underage consumption of alcohol is a misdemeanor and carries severe penalties:
Using a fake driver’s license or other identification to obtain alcohol is a class 1 misdemeanor. Penalties may include:
Simply possessing alcoholic beverages or having the misfortune of sitting closest to the empty beer can (open container) in a car can result in misdemeanor charges and a heavy fine for anyone under 21.
In addition to criminal prosecution, underage drinkers may face other consequences for underage drinking. Our lawyers represent high school and college students (including many at Arizona State University) facing suspension or expulsion from school, as well as suspension from athletic teams or other sanctions, relating to zero-tolerance alcohol policy violations.
In every alcohol-related offense, we thoroughly examine the facts of the case and advise clients on the merits of contesting the charges or negotiating a plea bargain to a lesser offense with fewer consequences. Our goal is always to minimize the impact of the charges on the young person’s life.

The Law Offices of John Phebus, and in particular my Lawyer Roland Rillos are a Very trustworthy and capable law firm. It’s never pleasant to need a lawyer – but I would highly recommend Roland. He was informative every step of the way, always available, and very upfront about costs. Their payment options made it very affordable. If you need legal help I highly recommend them
