What is the name of your state? Florida

I live in Jacksonville, and I was arrested along with 3 other people for felony posession of marijuana and a trespassing charge. My lawyer wants me to plea no contest, I am a juvenille. What does this mean? What will happen. I appreciate any help on this. Thnx!

A no contest plea has the same effect as a guilty plea. It is for people who are squeamish about pleading guilty. He probably wants you to plead guilty because the prosecution is offering you a lighter sentence or probation if you do. Unless you are innocent and think you can prove it, accept the offer.
