Underage Misrepresentation of Age
Me and some friends went into a bar using id's of older friends. The bouncer insisted that the ID wasn't mine and called the police. I left the bar when i found out the police were being notified. As I was walking home the police stopped me on the sidewalk and put me into the squad. I recieved a Underage Misrepresentation of age ticket as well as an Underage. I'm wondering what I should do to give myself the best chance of recieving a lesser penalty.

In addition to large fines, penalties can include long term loss of drivers' license or the right to obtain a license if you do not yet have one. However, an experienced lawyer might be able get a better result. Getting involved in some sort of alcohol abuse counseling might also help.
