Unless she is charged under a local code, then the fine for underage possession of alcohol is $500.00. Beware that there are different alcohol offenses. Depending on what is charged there are different potential consequences. I offer a free initial consultation. If you would like to contact me with the details of her case, I will confirm exactly what the potential consequenes are. I would also inform you what retaining me would involve. If she is facing only a fine, it is probably not worth retaining a lawyer. However, if her driver's license it at stake, or if there is the possibility of incarceration, then she should consider getting counsel.
