Staying Current with Legal Changes Related to MIP
The law related to minors in possession of alcohol no longer requires young people to take a preliminary sobriety test when suspected of MIP unless police have probable cause. However, law enforcement personnel may not know about or abide by this change. Determining whether police illegally required a minor to take the test is just one of the ways our attorney can defend a young person charged with MIP.

Expungement — An Option After Conviction or a Plea
If you were convicted of an MIP at least five years ago, you may be able to have that conviction removed from your record, or set aside, through the process of expungement. There are limitations on expungement, so it is important to contact our law firm to learn whether you are eligible for expungement of your MIP conviction or plea. It is important to remember that you may have this option and will be able to clear your record. Our law firm can assist you with this process.
