Richmond, Virginia, Underage Drinking Defense Lawyers

Has your son or daughter been charged with underage consumption of alcohol? Were they caught drinking and driving after a party? Underage drinking charges should not be taken lightly. In fact, without the proper defense, the consequences can last a lifetime.

Founded in 1961, Jennings and Jennings has extensive criminal defense experience and knows how to protect our clients' rights. Contact our Richmond office to discuss your case.

Criminal Defense for Juveniles

A high school student charged with being a minor in possession faces license suspension, fines and possible time in juvenile detention. Ultimately, the penalties depend on the facts of the case. We will protect your son or daughter's rights and seek to minimize the consequences whenever possible.

Worried that an underage drinking charge will stay on your child's record? These charges can be expunged from a criminal record if the juvenile follows the court's requirements and avoids any future criminal conduct.

Criminal Defense for College Students

A college party, drinking and driving after a game, sneaking a beer in your dorm room: these are all common scenarios in which a young person can be charged with being a minor in possession. If you are a college student charged with underage drinking, bring your case to Jennings to Jennings. We will carefully evaluate the case against you and, if possible, negotiate with prosecutors to reduce or drop the charges.

We represent students from the University of Virginia, Virginia State University, Virginia Commonwealth University, Virginia Union University, University of Richmond, and other colleges and universities in the area.

We Care About Your Future

We understand how a minor in possession or other underage drinking charge can negatively impact a young person's future. A high school student may not get into the college of his or her choice. A college student may miss certain employment opportunities. However, through careful defense planning and zealous advocacy, we are often able to minimize the penalties and consequences that our clients face.
