What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
I was handed two pink summons today for trespassing 140.05 and public exposure 245.01 at a movie parking lot and I wanted to know if I needed a lawyer to prevent any sort of criminal record.
I finished watching a movie with my GF which started at 11:15am and ended at 1:10pm. I went back to the car with her and we started to have sex in the back seat. After about 5 minutes we saw an officer coming and we quickly got dressed before he came by the window. He asked for my ID and my GF's ID and he gave us two pink summons at 1:30pm. I want to know if I need to hire a lawyer for this because both me and my girlfriend are applying to professional school and we don't want this on our record. I want to know if we can get away and pay a fine if we plead guilty to both pink summons. We talked with a lawyer and he scared us by talking about criminal records and wants us to pay him $750 to get this case settled without a criminal record. Any advice on how I should proceed?
