Could be nothing, but it really depends. I've seen judges lock people up even on first offenses but this is rare. Either way, your biggest concern should be having a criminal record. Thus, I suggest that you meet with an attorney ASAP to at least discuss the case.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me a 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.

The maximum penalty is 30 days in jail, although whether you actually get that much jail time is determined by the facts of the case and the discretion of the judge when your case goes to court. Please contact me if you would like to discuss your case in more detail and to talk about what I can do to help you. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-
