Kansas Juvenile Defense Attorney
Are You Under 21 and Facing Minor in Possession of Alcohol (MIP) Charges?
A minor in possession of alcohol (MIP) charge can be given to any individual under the age of 21 in Kansas who is found guilty of any of the following:
- Possessing alcohol
- Consuming alcohol
- Buying alcohol
- Attempting to buy alcohol
At the Rokusek Law Office, I understand the effect this type of criminal charge can have on the life of a minor - loss of driving privileges, large fines, and mandatory community service. As a criminal defense lawyer, I know what techniques are available to dismiss charges, avoid having the MIP put on a permanent record, and avoid conviction.
If you or your child has been charged with a minor in possession, call my Olathe, Kansas law office at 1-866-414-7590 for a free consultation, or contact me online.
Minimizing the Long-Term Impact of Underage Drinking Charges
It's a fact of life - many high school and college students consume alcohol or use drugs at some point in their life. It has nothing to do with being a "bad kid" or a "good kid." It has more to do with a kid simply making a bad decision.
No matter what the intentions, a minor in possession charge or any other violation of Kansas' underage drinking laws can have a major impact on the life of an person under the age of 21. No minor is prepared to handle the consequences of an MIP. That is why working with an experienced criminal defense attorney is so important.
For over 15 years, I have been helping minors explore various options to minimize the impact of a MIP. Whether that involves negotiating community service to avoid conviction, or fighting aggressively against alcohol-related charges, I apply my experience and knowledge on behalf of my clients. I also help juveniles and minors who have been charged with DUI or a drug crime, such as possession of marijuana.
