Colorado MIP Defense Attorney

A Colorado MIP defense attorney can help protect your child’s future if they are facing minor in possession (MIP) or underage consumption charges under Colorado law. Here is a startling statistic, courtesy of Colorado lawmakers: A motorist under 21 years of age needs only register a .02 blood alcohol level to risk conviction for DUI under Colorado law and the broader legal system, making a minor in possession a strict liability offense. If your minor child (an underage person) has been stopped by a law enforcement officer for drunk driving, illegal possession or consumed alcohol, while behind the wheel on private property a person owns, or associating with friends in the immediate presence of others, he or she has rights that must be protected when facing MIP charges, criminal charges, or a possession charge.

For quality legal representation in underage consumption and minor in possession (MIP) cases, including underage possession and illegal possession, come to the Law Offices of J.B. Katz, P.C, a trusted law firm led by an experienced criminal attorney. As a Colorado MIP defense attorney, I have aggressively safeguarded the interests of children and teenagers in trouble and their parents for 20 years, handling first MIP offense, second offense, third offense, and third and subsequent convictions, especially where minors tend to be charged despite limited evidence. I actively seek reductions and dismissals of charges, plea agreements to lesser charges and lighter alternative punishments such as community service, substance abuse education programs, alcohol education, or participation in a diversion program and substance abuse assessment. You can count on me for fast response, extensive legal experience and personal attention to your Breckenridge criminal defense case.

Helping Your Child Protect His Or Her Future

I carefully examine arrest procedures used in the underage consumption case for any sign that your child’s constitutional rights were violated, including whether the alleged MIP offense involved medicinal or hygienic purpose substances. I question the validity of the results of all tests performed at the arrest scene for field sobriety, breath and blood, including analysis of minor’s breath, ethyl alcohol, and manifested characteristics relied upon by police. As a Colorado MIP defense lawyer, I represent your young driver’s interests at a DMV hearing for minor in possession (MIP) matters and driver’s license suspension or revocation issues at the Colorado Department level. I handle these cases for the out-of-state family members of students enrolled in Colorado colleges and universities, including matters when seeking employment, future opportunities, or the ability to have a record sealed in a timely manner. Expect effective, efficient, experienced defense strategies, defense of repeat MIP violations, and pursuit of the best outcome under the Colorado Revised Statutes at the Law Offices of J.B. Katz, P.C. We work toward outcomes that you and your child can live with, learn from and build on.
