First-Offense DUI Defense for Starkville, MS

A first DUI in Starkville

Starkville is home to Mississippi State University, where Mark earned his business degree, and ZIP 39759 is on his list of areas covered. Many of the questions here come down to age and where your license was issued, so have both in mind when you call.

If you are under 21

The legal limit is lower for a driver under the legal drinking age: .02%. Mississippi’s Zero Tolerance for Minors provision covers .02% up to just under .08%, with a $250 fine and the alcohol safety class on a first conviction. A person under 21 is also eligible for non-adjudication of a qualifying first offense. At .08% or more, the regular first-offense penalties apply. See the fine, jail exposure and the class.

If your license is from another state

MASEP lists Starkville among its class locations. If you are ordered to attend and hold a license from another state, MASEP says to contact that state’s licensing agency about what it needs from you. Read about MASEP.
