In October of 2010, I was stopped on the sidewalk by a San Diego police officer because I was carrying a case of beer. I was 20 at the time and was given a Minor in Possession ticket. Upon learning that a MIP conviction carries a mandatory license suspension for one year, I felt that it was in my bes...t interest to hire an attorney. I found Tate Lounsbery through similar reviews such as this. Tate is very friendly and relaxed and kept me well informed of my situation as well as his plan to fight the charge. Whereas other lawyers I spoke to try to get their MIP cases reduced to Minor in Consumptions, Tate felt confident we could get this case dismissed and sure enough, his expertise with the traffic courts resulted in a dismissal of my case. Also, I did not have to appear in court with him. I recommend Tate to anyone in the San Diego area looking to fight MIPs.

Anyone who is currently under 21 and received a Minor in Possession infraction/misdemeanor for alcohol should give Tate a call. I am currently 19 years old and received and MIP in San Diego holding a can of beer. The biggest issue that was on my mind was keeping my license. I gave Tate a call and he ...talked to me professionally but not in a condescending way. If you are looking for a nice down to earth lawyer that will handle everything and save your license, i recommend Tate.
