What is the name of your state? MISSOURI
First off, I"m glad I found these forums, they seem very helpful on legal advice.
Anyways, I was arrested 11-20 for MIP of alcohol and open containor on a public side-walk.
These are both my first offenses AFTER 17, (which to my understanding everything before then is 'erased'). I am 20 years old now.
My court date is 12-20, and I was basically wondering what to expect? I'm going to plead guilty on both charges and hope for a small fee... what is the average fine for both of these charges in this state? Should I get a lawyer?
Also, do I have to file for a SR-22 after this and get higher insurance? I'm not too familiar with the criteria for it, so any help would be nice. Everyone I have talked to says not to worry about my insurance rates.
Thanks in advance for your help, looking forward to responses.
