Phoenix, Arizona, Underage Drinking Defense Lawyer
Teenagers and young adults are subjected to many temptations when they are living independently at college. Dorm parties, available narcotics and nearby bars all provide opportunities for young people to make mistakes that can be part of their record for years. With so many students attending Arizona State University and other area colleges, protecting a promising future from a criminal conviction can be a difficult challenge for parents.

At the Law Offices of Scott David Stewart, we understand how important it is to fight to protect a young person's promising future. We know that college students often make mistakes with no intent of committing a crime. Simply being caught out too late after a party or being part of a crowd that includes one or two undesirable people doesn't mean that your minor-age college student should face a conviction that may mean lost opportunities for student loans, government housing programs and job opportunities. If your student has been charged with a crime, we provide aggressive college crime defense to help get the best possible outcome.
