A: If he is convicted he won’t be able to get a license until he is 18

Juan Ooink agrees with this answer

A: There is no way of knowing, as every Judge and prosecutor are different. I would certainly hire a traffic attorney as these tickets can have a very negative effect upon his ability to get a license later, raise your insurance rates and impose some serious fines & court costs.

Juan Ooink agrees with this answer

A: You really should hire an attorney to assist with this matter. The sooner you hire an attorney the better, so that attorney can start working on the case.

A: As my colleagues have pointed out, there are a variety of possibilities. The goal is to avoid a conviction on any of the offenses and minimize the consequences. There are options. For example, it may be possible to resolve the matter favorably by having your son complete community service hours. You should seek legal representation to ensure the best possible result.
