Zero Tolerance DUI (Under 21)

Michigan's Strict Laws for Drivers Under the Legal Drinking Age

Protecting the Future of Young Drivers

The State of Michigan enforces a "Zero Tolerance" policy for minors (individuals under the age of 21) operating a motor vehicle. Under this law, any detectable blood alcohol content (BAC) of .02% or more is grounds for a criminal charge. A conviction can result in a permanent criminal record, impacting college applications and future employment. Krupp Law Offices P.C. provides aggressive defense to help young adults move past these mistakes.

Zero Tolerance Penalties

First Offense

• Non-jailable misdemeanor
• Up to 360 hours community service
• Fine up to $250.00
• Driver's license sanctions

Second Offense

• Up to 93 days in jail
• Up to 60 days community service
• Fine up to $500.00
• Significant license suspension

No Plea Bargaining

Michigan statute specifically precludes plea bargaining other OWI offenses (like standard Drunk Driving) downward to a Zero Tolerance charge. This makes it even more critical to have an experienced attorney who can challenge the validity of the initial stop and the accuracy of the chemical tests.

Straight Talk for Families

Former prosecutors George and Christian Krupp understand the stress a Zero Tolerance charge puts on a family. We provide the "straight talk" and aggressive representation needed to protect your child's rights and their future opportunities.
