My 19yr old on was arrested for underage consumption. Does he need a lawyer?

Question: My 19yr old on was arrested for underage consumption. He has never been in any trouble. Does he need a lawyer?

Answer: Yes, I believe that he needs an attorney. Even if the judge places him on probation there may be some effect on his driver's license. I would never go into court without an experienced attorney.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
