Minor In Possession Lawyer
Santa Barbara Minor In Possession (MIP) Attorney
If you have been issued a citation for minor in possession/underage drinking, don’t just pay the fine. Talk with an experienced criminal defense attorney first. A conviction for simple misdemeanor charges can have a serious impact on your life. Your criminal record is a matter of public record that allows prospective employers, colleges/universities, and any member of the public to view the record.
The military does not accept recruits who are currently on probation. As a matter of public record, a misdemeanor conviction must be provided on job applications and financial aid applications if inquired. A criminal conviction can jeopardize scholarships, college applications, and employment opportunities.
With a major university and two colleges, Santa Barbara is well known for both higher learning and parties. With such a high concentration of college students and visitors in the area, there will be arrests made for Minor in Possession (MIP) of alcohol and Drunk in Public violations. If you are a minor who has been arrested on either of these charges, talk to a lawyer who can help minimize the damage a criminal record can do to both your reputation and future career opportunities.
Defending Against MIP Charges
It is possible to get a MIP dismissed or to negotiate a plea to an infraction that does not carry license suspension. When the police write MIP tickets, they’re usually writing a bunch of them at a big event. Sometimes, they make mistakes. Many times there are issues concerning proof of possession or search and seizure issues.
The Law Offices of Gregory I. McMurray, P.C., has the experience to spot these mistakes and leverage them to your advantage. If your teenager makes a mistake or ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time, don’t make matters worse! Obtain the services of an experienced minor in possession (MIP) attorney and protect their future.

Mr. McMurray was my lawyer when I was arrested by the SB County Sheriff’s department. I won’t go into details, but I was in serious trouble… Mr. McMurray was truthful and helpful through the entire process. I ended up avoiding jail time all together and I haven’t looked back since. I can happily say he got me a second chance.
I couldn’t recommend Elvia highly enough. When the legal system left me hurt and confused, she fought fiercely and got me results.
Elvia believes in what she does and her passion shines through in her work. She couldn’t have done a better job for me and I know she’ll fight just as successfully for you.
Great experience with this law firm. Not only is Gregory extremely smart and resourceful, but has a profound understanding of the in’s and out’s of the legal system.
In a field that many people don’t know much about until circumstances force them to seek legal help, Elvia looks out for her client’s interests above her own. She responded quickly to my concerns and explained everything to me in a manner which I understood. Elvia is trustworthy and honest. I highly recommend Elvia!
