Underage Drinking & Penalties

UNDERAGE DRINKING DEFENSE

IN VIRGINIA, MARYLAND & MASSACHUSETTS


The legal drinking age is 21 in Virginia, Maryland & Massachusetts. If a person under the age of 21 consumes or purchases alcohol, they will be subject to criminal sanctions. Virginia, Maryland & Massachusetts take underage drinking very seriously. To learn more about the laws that pertain to underage drinking and the penalties associated with underage drinking, contact the criminal defense lawyers of SRIS, P.C. Our criminal defense lawyers have extensive experience in representing clients who are charged with underage drinking in Virginia, Maryland & Massachusetts. A conviction for underage drinking can have not only serious criminal implications, but may also have serious financial and long term consequences.

DO NOT TAKE AN UNDERAGE DRINKING CHARGE LIGHTLY. Contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer.

Note to anyone 21 years of age or older - If you buy alcohol for a person under the age of 21 or host a party and let someone under the age of 18 drink, you too will face criminal charges. The most common charge for these types of violations is contribution to the delinquency of a minor. Again, this also is a very serious charge and should not be taken lightly. Judges in Virginia, Maryland & Massachusetts do not tolerate people who encourage delinquent behavior and tend to impose severe penalties.
