Underage Drinking

Delaware Underage Drinking Defense Attorney

Representing Juveniles Charged with Minor in Possession

An underage drinking charge can lead to drivers' license suspension and may affect your child's eligibility for sports teams, college or employment. Even if they were not drinking, mere possession of an alcoholic beverage is cause for criminal consequences. Before you let your child plead guilty, get the advice of an experienced underage drinking defense lawyer.

The Wilmington, Delaware, law firm of Rahaim & Saints has represented minors in New Castle, Kent & Sussex counties and throughout Delaware since 1993. We are guided by attorney Drew Rahaim, who has more than 25 years of experience practicing criminal defense. Contact our offices today to arrange a free initial consultation.

Consequences of Underage Drinking

• First offense: mandatory loss of license for 30 days and a $100 fine
• Second or third offense: loss of license for 6 months and a $500 fine

At Rahaim & Saints, our criminal defense attorneys will provide a vigorous defense on your child's behalf. We question whether the state has sufficient proof to charge the minor; we fight for probation, rather than judgment; and we work to have the charge expunged from the criminal record if the case is dismissed or your son or daughter is acquitted.

Underage Drinking and Driving

A juvenile caught drinking and driving will lose his or license until they turn 21. Our juvenile DUI defense attorneys will fight hard to beat the charges and have the case dismissed.

If your high school or college student was charged with possession or consumption of alcohol by a minor, you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer to represent them. Call Rahaim & Saints at our Wilmington office (302-892-9200) or our Newark office (302-832-1800) for a free consultation.
