Re: Minor in possesion
Taking a Plea without having a good attorney look at your case is not in your best interest. There are several consequences as result of MIP, including probation, alcohol screening, community service, etc... jail is not one of them. But if you must plea, you ought to do get on deferral program of some sort, if available @ Court. You will need to retain a good attorney quickly to preserve your rights and review your case thoroughly. Daniel Hajji 248.865.4700

Depending on how you were charged, Michigan's MIP law has been declared unconstitutional. A lawyer may be able to get the charge dismissed. Contact our office at 248.705.3742 if you need help.
