Underage Drinking Defense Lawyer in Cincinnati, OH

Underage Drinking Defense Overview

One in five individuals between the ages of 12 and 20 are engaged in alcohol abuse – don't go into court or attempt to face the criminal justice system alone.

While often viewed as minor issues by those who receive them, underage drinking citations can actually lead to highly damaging penalties, including hefty fines, license suspension, jail time, disciplinary actions from schools or universities, and a permanent criminal record that may hinder future employment opportunities.

When facing such harsh penalties, the guidance of an experienced lawyer can be invaluable for helping you limit the damage related to a conviction.

I am Robert R. Hart Jr., Attorney at Law. I offer aggressive defense guidance to clients throughout the Cincinnati, Ohio, area who have been charged with underage drinking, minor in possession, or drinking and driving.

My work defending clients facing underage drinking charges has given me a unique insight into area courts, judges and prosecutors, allowing me to offer helpful advice on your best options for combating the charges against you.

Whether the facts of your case allow us to negotiate for a dismissal or reduction of penalties through a plea deal or our best option is to try to combat these charges in court, I will fight to help you find the most favorable resolutions possible to your unique situation. If it's your first offense, we can discuss the possibility of expungement, which actually “erases” the conviction from your record so you can legally say “no” to the question “have you been convicted of a crime?”

College students who face criminal charges may also be facing discipline at their respective school or university. I work with students from the University of Cincinnati, Xavier University, Miami University, Cincinnati State University and Northern Kentucky through the school's administrative procedures related to an underage possession or consumption of alcohol charge.

If you, or your son or daughter have been issued a citation for underage drinking or underage possession, do not hesitate to get an attorney involved. Call 513-878-1421 to schedule a free consultation to discuss your specific traffic violations and learn how I can be of assistance.
