An MIP Charge Needs to Be Handled Properly

Some people under the age of 21 who are arrested for underage drinking or marijuana possession think that by simply pleading guilty they can put the matter to rest. This is a grave mistake. If your case is not handled properly, the consequences can follow you for life.

At Daniel W. Mitnick & Associates, PC, our experienced criminal defense lawyers take these concerns seriously and will work relentlessly to protect your future. We will work to provide a strong and effective defense for you.

Possible Outcomes

Fortunately for those arrested on a minor in possession charge in Georgia, the law provides for relief in certain situations. Our lawyers can work to obtain a pre-trial diversion outcome for you. In this plea, if you stay out of trouble for six months or one year (depending on circumstances) you can be adjudicated not guilty. The record of the arrest is expungeable, meaning that only criminal justice personnel have access to it. Also, you do not lose your driver's license.

The lawyers at Daniel W. Mitnick & Associates, PC have helped numerous clients arrested for the charge of minor in possession obtain this outcome.

An arrest for DUI is much more serious than that for minor in possession, and requires a significantly different defense effort. Our firm also represents minors accused of drunk driving or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
