Re: public urination
usually there are various things to consider on cases such as this... while in virtually all cases there is no fear of any serious punishment - what you may correctly worry about would be the addition of such a charge on a permanent record, or the potential for a criminal record over such a minor situation...
In general, if this is within the city most attorneys handle such cases for a relatively nominal fee... I would suggest if you are truly worried hiring a professional to accompany him to Court and ensure that he is adequately protected...
Overall, the usual end (disposition) to such cases occurs at the first court appearance and there is a fine to be paid within a reasonable period of time thereafter.
I wish you luck.

Re: public urination
Depending upon the written charge, your son may be charged with a misdemeanor. The usual result in these cases is a plea bargain to a violation with a small fine and no criminal record. There are possible medical defenses available. Please call my office @7188340087 for a free phone consultation. I handle many of these simple cases at very reasonable cost.
