Q: My 16 yr old son backed into an unoccupied vehicle, then left without giving info. Does he need a lawyer for court?
This is his first ever issue with the law, he is a good student & a respectful teen, he was scared & didn't know what to do, the unoccupied vehicle wasn't parked in a marked parking area, and this incident happened on private property, our insurance took care of all damages right away. I'm very concerned about the effects of the outcome on his future. I just want to be ready for whatever we need to do.
A: Yes. Find one who handles citations in that court. Make sure person was paid. Ask them for something showing they paid that your son can show the Court.
