Legal Question in Criminal Law in North Carolina

You really need to do two things. First hire a good criminal defense attorney. There are a variety of possible outcomes depending upon the jurisdiction, and the specific facts. I have handled cases with similar patterns and seen the charges all dropped after my client completed an alcohol treatment program and some additional conditions. The second thing I recommend is to get the teenager into counseling.

It is not uncommon to see a teenager do a streak of dumb things, but get the wake-up call, and straighten up and live a good productive life. It would be great if this person could get a chance to clean up his/her act and still not have a criminal record. But even with a criminal record, it is most important to get a wake-up call. If the person is under 18 at the time of conviction there may also be possibilities of an expungement of the record.
