Danielle Relieves Client of Adult and Juvenile Underage Drinking & Driving Charge
Date: January 2023
Case: Underage DWI
Attorney: Danielle C. Peden
Result: Danielle’s client was charged for underage drinking and driving in Adult Court. Danielle quickly determined that Adult Court did not have jurisdiction because her client had not yet turned 18, and successfully had the charge dismissed. One year later, the case was charged in Juvenile Court; however, Danielle’s client shortly thereafter turned 19, and she believed jurisdiction had also been lost. Resultantly, Danielle communicated with the Prosecutor and ultimately got the case dismissed for a second time.
