Based on what you have written, it appears that you are seeking a criminal defense law firm to assist you son. It appears that your son had no involvement in the pasture party or the purchase of alcohol. Remember that the State has the burden of proving your son's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. You may want to consider letting go of your current attorney and retaining a new law firm to assist you with this case. If my law firm can assist you with this matter or with any other legal issue, please contact us at [email protected] to arrange for an initial consultation. The above response given is not intended to create, nor does it create an on-going duty to respond to questions.

The response given is based upon the limited facts provided by the person asking the question. To the extent additional or different facts exist, the response might possibly change.
