Appealing an underage drinking charge

In most counties, a summary appeal will result in a different charge. However, you should be aware that a different charge may not be in her best interest.

With an Underage Drinking Citation, she will lose her license for a period of 90 days. However, if this is her first offense, she should be eligible for an Occupational Limited License (OLL) to get to and from school/work.

In addition, she will be able to expunge her record when she turns 21 (perhaps before she leaves college).

With a Disorderly Conduct conviction, she must wait 5 years before she may expunge her record. In 5 years, she will have graduated college and entering the job market.
