Possession of alcohol by a minor is a serious offense that can have long-lasting consequences on a young person's future. In many jurisdictions, it is unlawful for individuals under the legal drinking age to possess or consume alcohol. The aim of these laws is to promote safety and deter underage drinking. However, being charged with possession of alcohol as a minor does not mean you are automatically guilty. There are several factors and legal defenses that can be explored to challenge the charges against you.
At Martinicchio Criminal Defense Group, we believe in giving our clients the best possible defense. We will take the time to thoroughly analyze your case, examine the evidence, and build a strong defense strategy tailored to your specific circumstances.
