Underage Drinking

Focused on Protecting Your Rights

In Kansas, the police aggressively seek minors who are in possession of alcohol. Called the "party patrol," police officers drive around looking for parties with underage drinkers in attendance. Once they find them, they arrest them for underage drinking. If the parents are home, they may also be charged with social hosting, a misdemeanor. Results of a conviction can affect a minor's future ability to get a job, and can include fines and the loss of a driver's license.

Attorney Who Knows How To Win and Get Juveniles the Help They Need

If you are a college student who has been arrested or you are a parent whose child has been arrested, you need a lawyer who understands how to overcome alcohol-related criminal or juvenile charges.

My name is Paul Morrison. As a former Johnson County District Attorney and State of Kansas Attorney General, I am a lawyer who is intimately familiar with how the police operate, how the prosecution looks at minor in possession of alcohol cases and how to fight and win for my clients.

Finding Flaws in Prosecution's Case

A large part of my job as a lawyer is educating others about the true facts of the case, including any mitigating circumstances to consider. This is especially so in situations involving questionable legal tactics like police knocking on private home doors seeking entry, as they so often do to in an effort to arrest a minor in possession of alcohol.

I help the prosecution understand that party patrol arrests may not be legitimate and that your rights may have been violated. When television news program 60 Minutes covered the morality and legality of Kansas City police force's "Party Patrol," I was extensively interviewed on the legality of the issue.

My law firm handles cases that involve:

  • DUI and consumption of alcohol
  • Minor in consumption of alcohol
  • All juvenile crimes
  • Juvenile delinquency
