Under 21 DUI
One Mistake Shouldn't Define Your Future
California's zero-tolerance laws are harsh on young drivers. Jack fights to protect your record, your license, and your opportunities.
California's Zero-Tolerance Law
California Vehicle Code 23136 establishes a zero-tolerance policy for drivers under 21. Any measurable blood alcohol concentration of 0.01% or higher can result in a DUI charge. This means that even a single drink can lead to an arrest and license suspension for a young driver.
Consequences for Under 21 DUI
An under-21 DUI can result in a 1-year license suspension, mandatory DUI education program, fines and court costs, a criminal record that can affect college admissions, scholarships, and employment, and increased insurance rates for years. If the BAC is 0.08% or higher, the driver faces the same penalties as an adult DUI plus additional consequences.
Protecting Young People's Futures
Jack understands that young people make mistakes, and he fights to ensure that one bad decision does not derail their entire future. His defense strategies focus on challenging the traffic stop, questioning BAC testing methods, and negotiating for outcomes that minimize the long-term impact on education and career opportunities.
