At 19 he should hire his own lawyer. He will most likely loose his license for a period of time, fines and probation. Was there any other charges to go with this?

Under 21 and below .08 is baby DUI and you get a six month suspension and $500. I don't know if you have to do the VASAP, but I wouldn't be surprised.

A good lawyer is what your son needs.

Just because he was getting away with the illegal lift kit, doesn't mean it was not illegal.
Just because he got "tickets" and not hauled into jail doesn't indicate the decreased severity of the charges he faces. Get him to a lawyer.
