Hawaii Underage DUI Charges

Honolulu Underage DUI Lawyer – (808) 521-3367

Hawaii has adopted a “zero tolerance law” when it comes to underage DUI. A minor under the age of 21 with any trace of alcohol in their system, or any blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test result more than 0.02%, will be charged with driving under the influence (DUI).

At The Law Office of Kevin O'Grady, I lead my law firm using over 25 years of legal experience and a background as a law enforcement officer and a military prosecutor. I have the insight and knowledgeability needed to anticipate the arguments of the opposition and effectively counter them with a sound strategy. If you or your child have been charged with an underage DUI in Hawaii, you want my hard-hitting representation on your side.

Do not forget that it is a petty misdemeanor in Hawaii for a minor to merely possess alcohol. The consequences of a misdemeanor conviction in juvenile court could be extensive, creating negative ripples far into your child’s life.
