Re: misdemeanors

The possession of alcohol can carry up to 6 months and $300 fine. The false ID charge can carry up to $1000 fine and 12 months in jail. This can be a serious charge because the second false ID conviction is a felony that can carry up to 3 years in prison. An attorney can walk you through the process and go over your options with you. Email me directly if you would like more information about representation.
