Re: trespassing

Hi:

First and foremost you should tell your parents about this incident,because they will find out eventually. You should have them with you present speak with an attorney. The ticket that you received should have the violation on it and the court date, etc. If you have a clean record, and do not hide from this matter it should result in a fine, and possibly some type of record,but until I have the ticket, I can not help any further.

You can have your parents contact me with the information and hopefully I can stear you in the proper direction.

Good Luck

Re: trespassing

This is a criminal offense,that being said the likely punishment is either an ACD which is an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal,or perhaps a small fine. I handle these matters on a regular basis and would be happy to discuss this matter with you and your parents. Call my office @ 7188340087 for a free phone consultation.
