Another common criminal charge is possession or consumption of alcohol while under 21. Any time someone under 21 has consumed or is possessing alcohol, that is technically a crime. There are lots of issues relating to these cases such as how the officers came to find you in possession of alcohol, how they came to find out you were under 21 or how they found out that you'd been consuming alcohol. If they did any preliminary breath tests or had you do a full-on breathalyzer. There are lots of issues in each case and it's important to contact us as soon as possible so we can discuss the issues relating to your defense.

Are you facing drug charges in a North Carolina criminal court? Are you being investigated or has your child been arrested for drug possession or sale? You need immediate legal help.

Before you talk with the police, talk to a lawyer.
