Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia
First offense
I have been charged just yesterday with unauthorized use of a vehicle and damage worth more than $1,000. It was a car accident and I am unlicensed but it really was just an accident. I don't go to court til June 2nd but, I meet with my lawyer May 4th. This is my frist offense does anybody know what kind of outcome this could have. I'm going into my Senior year in college I can't afford to go to jail.

Re: First offense
You would be well advised to discuss this issue with your lawyer. (And, no, you shouldn't have to wait until May 4th to speak with this person.)
