Minor in Possession

Marcilliat & Mills PLLC knows that criminal charges can be frightening. If you or your son or daughter has been charged with minor in possession of alcohol (MIP), you want an attorney to protect your future. A criminal charge can hurt your chances of getting into college, your job opportunities, and your reputation. Let an experienced and knowledgeable criminal defense attorney fight for your future.

Contact us today. We have handled hundreds of misdemeanor cases with great results. Our experience in courts throughout North Carolina will be an asset as we defend against a MIP charge. Even if you choose not to fight the charge, call 919-838-6643 so we can counsel you on your rights and inform you of your options in negotiating with the state.

Experienced Minor in Possession Representation

Young people are often caught drinking underage, leading to a MIP charge, but we also defend businesses charged with selling to minors under Dram Shop Liability laws. The following actions can lead to a MIP charge:

  • Drinking and driving
  • Using a fake ID to obtain alcohol
  • Possessing or purchasing alcohol
  • Selling alcohol to someone under 21

With years of experience, Marcilliat & Mills PLLC provides clients with a sense of relief. Our clients come to us in a state of panic. Our knowledge and extensive experience reassure them that we will achieve an outcome that is best for their situation. We listen to you and advocate on your behalf to get the prosecutor and the court to hear your side of the story.

When you call on behalf of your son or daughter, you will speak with caring and considerate staff at Marcilliat & Mills PLLC. The stress you experience after a MIP charge is intense. We keep you informed so that you and your son or daughter can move on with your life.
