You Face Extensive Consequences for Selling to a Minor
One of the most common liquor license violations includes selling alcoholic beverages to a minor. Often, these sales occur during stings and undercover operations run by local law enforcement. A violation of this type not only means administrative consequences such as a suspended or forfeited liquor license, but this violation is also a crime. The server and the license holder can both face criminal charges and consequences. This type of violation requires the experience and dedication you can only find a skilled liquor license violation attorney.
Helping You Fight Liquor License Violations at Local and State Levels
At Stokes Lazarus & Carmichael LLP, our attorneys have more than 39 years of experience working with clients defending against these violations. Once we are involved in a case, we immediately begin to develop the facts around what happened and try to negotiate with the district attorney prior to a hearing. When plea bargaining or alternative sentencing are not available, we bring aggressive trial skills to prove that such a violation will not happen again.
It is important to understand that your charges can come from two bodies at the same time: your local enforcement agency and the state. If you receive a violation at the local level, you are required to notify the state within a short time period. We can work with you quickly to ensure you do not miss any important deadlines in responding to your violation.
