I certainly can help. Since it is her first offense there are ,depending on the jurisdiction,usually diversion programs that will prevent a defendant from getting a criminal record. There are also plea bargain opportunities that will achieve the same result. For more specific advice please contact my office @ 718-834-0087 for a free phone consultation.
