Alcohol Offense Attorneys in Albuquerque, NM

Alcohol Offense Overview

Alcohol Offense

While some people consider underage drinking to be a rite of passage, the truth is alcohol-related offenses can have lasting negative consequences. Having only one drink at a college party can lead to a criminal record, which can result in time behind bars and the loss of your driver's license. Further, conviction can limit your school, employment, housing and other opportunities. If you are in college, you may face additional punishment from your school.
