Hello I(25) am being charged under furnishing alcohol to a minor(18) an I'm extremely anxious about what to expect. I was charged under 3-3-23(a)(1). I am a 1st offender. I have gotten a traffic ticket about 4 yrs ago and pleaded no contempt in civil court I dont know if that will affect anything but I just being transparent. I was looking it up and it said 1000 to 5000 dollars and possible jail time. But that didnt take into consideration any of the details s ok I'm wondering what I should expect on my court date August 13th. Or I was wondering if it was possible for me to pay something like this online because I think that is what the officer said but I was so distruiught I'm not sure if I heard him correctly. Can u tell me what to realiztically expect as a 1st offenser
A: You need to hire an attorney. Do not pay this online. Do not go into this alone. Being distraught is OK. Hire an attorney to help you with this.
A: Hire a lawyer who practices in that court regularly.
