You should be able to receive an acod
No one will call your parents but you may want to have a lawyer represent you at your arraignment. It can be a bit intimidating, as they will probably have you fingerprinted in court and then sent before a criminal court judge. If you need a free telephone consultation or a fee quote, please contact my office via phone or email.
You should not expect jail time, but it would be highly recommended to have an experienced lawyer with you defending you and preserving your rights in court. It would also greatly increase the chance of lowering the charges or possible dismissal. We have substantial experience handling these types of cases and reasonable fees, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
