ALCOHOL RELATED CRIMES LAW FIRM
If you or a family member has been accused of an alcohol related crime, it is a very serious matter. You may wish to seek the legal guidance of an experienced criminal defense lawyer. An alcohol related crime is one that is committed while under the influence of alcohol. The crimes can range from driving under the influence (DUI) and underage consumption to public intoxication and disorderly conduct. Violent crimes such as manslaughter and sexual battery can also be categorized as alcohol related crimes if the defendant accused of the crime was under the influence of alcohol at the time the crime was committed. Alcohol crimes can also be victimless, meaning there is no victim targeted or affected in the crime.
Alcohol related crimes can include:
- Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
- DUI manslaughter
