If the matter was in juvenielle court then his record is sealed, if not try to have it expunged. Contact me directly.
Re: possesion of marijuana
Records are forever. If he is charged in adult court, there are many ways of dealing with such charges. An attorney may be able to get a plea bargained deal that will keep his record clean. If not, then he may be able to get it expunged later. Feel free to contact me if serious about getting legal help.
Re: possesion of marijuana
Yes, Mike should get a good lawyer who would resolve the case with something other than a conviction on his record. Even though possession of a small amount of marijuana is not a serious crime (you can only get a fine of $100) it is is misdemeanor which would stay on his record. The conviction could make it difficult for him to obtain student financial aid in the future, for example.
