What is the name of your state? Maryland

My son is 18. Was out with friends and they shot out of car window with a pellet gun and hit some one and was picked up and charged with 2nd degree assault. He has never been in trouble before and I'm trying to see if he should get a lawyer.

Please help,

And I want to let everyone know how stupid this was on his part. He and his friends could have easily hurt someone badly. Thank god they didn't. I don't think he will ever do anything like this again but the damage is done.


Thanks,

Better get an attorney. In my state, 2nd degree assault is a very serious felony. Your son is now an adult; if he was 18 at the time, then he was charged as an adult. It would be a shame for him to become a convicted felon at this point in his life...good luck getting a job, renting an apartment, etc.
