Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin

Underage Drinking Violation in Brewer Stadium Parking Lot in WI

I would always recommend that minors who are charged with under aged drinking go to court and challenge the violation since such convictions can lead to drivers license revocation and much higher car insurance rates. This is true even if the violation does not involve driving. Even if there is no defense, an experienced lawyer can often negotiate and outcome which will look much better on the driving record. Part of any such resolution may be involve substance abuse counseling for the minor which never hurts, even if the drinking problem is not yet severe. My comments here are not intended as legal advice unless you subsequently retain me and revisit this issue with me.
