Common Questions
Will this remain on my record?
It depends on how many charges you have had. Among other things, it depends on how the case is resolved, such as with a conditional discharge, deferred prosecution, or informal agreement. But generally if this is your first charge or conviction, there are opportunities to expunge the charge at the appropriate time. This isn't always the case. Either way, the first step is discussing your options to resolve the case. Call now.
It's only a drinking charge, why can't I represent myself?
Well, you can. And you're right it is only a drinking charge. But most times, it is a criminal offense, which means a conviction will result in a criminal record. A broken arm will heal on it's own.

You do not want to graduate college with a criminal record.
