Legal Question in Criminal Law in North Carolina

Possession less than 1/2 oz

My son(19) & others went to a friends house and supposively the house was raided due to the fact pot plants were being grown on the property. My son was asked if the bag & smoking device on the table was his & he told the officer yes. No one was arrested, but only a couple got tickets, my son being one of them. This is his first offense,

so my question is; what is to be expected from a first offense and will he need an attorney the day of court or can he get a court appointed attorney the day of his first apperence? My son is very gullable and very inexperienced when it comes to things like this. He's a follower, to be in with the crowd.
