AA meetings are a must. You may want to consider other program options as well. GIVE US A CALL IF YOU NEED MORE DIRECTION. LARRY WOLF 310 277 1707

Re: minor in possession and drunk in public

Your facts are very general. Were you driving at the time? How were you caught? There are two agencies with which you must be concerned: 1. D.M.V.; 2. Court. California has a no tolerance policy with regard to those under 21 using alcohol. It is very likely that the D.M.V. will suspend your license for one year. Depends on the facts.

As for the Court, you may qualify for the youthful offender program. This allows you to complete an alcohol education course in order to get your charges dismissed. Talk with a criminal defense attorney in your area for more specifics.

CERTAINLY go to AA classes. My experience is that the judge and the District Attorneys are all impressed by defendants who have begun treatment voluntarily. It may also help your case if your parents or some other family members get involved by taking you to meetings or therapy.

Good luck,
