An Experienced Defense Lawyer For Underage Drinking Charges
An increasingly popular option for avoiding complications from underage drinking citations is to enter a diversion program. Madison County and St. Clair County both have diversion programs that allow offenders to attend alcohol education classes in exchange for eliminating the underage drinking charges. This is a great opportunity to create a learning experience for your child rather than creating a black mark on his or her record.
Law firm founder Jessica Koester is a knowledgeable underage drinking defense lawyer in Edwardsville. She will make every effort to make sure your child’s case is handled properly through diversion. She believes in negotiating with the prosecution to focus on rehabilitation instead of more punitive actions.
