Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota

My son who is 15, was brought home by the police because of minor consumption, and he was the passenger in a vehicle, and he blew .08. The officer said that something would come in the mail, and he would have to see a Judge. What do i need to do, to have this dismissed, and/or minimal fine? This is his first offense. Can suggestions be made for him to attend MADD, or do community service? so that is does not go on his record?

You seem to be a concerned, loving and caring parent and it is wonderful for your child to have that close support in his life. By rules of conduct (and by 'common sense'), attorneys are not permitted to promise or to guarantee any particular result or outcome. Yes, most likely there are multiple proactive steps and measures aimed at improving outcome which may be initiated immediately. I urge you to pay to seek legal counsel from a well-experienced attorney at this time; only a small subset of us have special expertise, training and experience as to criminal nature legal matters involving juveniles, and matters involving chemical use, abuse, addiction (alcohol is a chemical). Be wary of 'free advice'. Best to you and your son.

It's often possible for your son to get through this type of situation with minimal impact on his life. Best thing you can do for him is to retain an attorney to represent him. His attorney will work to achieve an arrangement that minimizes the consequences and the impact on his record. Feel free to give me a call or email.
