Hi - I just need a little advice. My son is 18 - legal drinking age is 21. About 6 weeks ago he wrecked his car after leaving a party... he waited at the scene for the police to arrive. They tested him on scene and he blew a .06 I believe. He was then arrested and later at the police station he blew a .04. Nobody else was involved... just him. He wasn't hurt, just basically wrapped his car around a telephone pole when he almost missed a freeway exit and over-corrected. One of his front tires was beyond bald, and he was extremely tired, but I'm not making excuse for him. I know he's screwed, that much I get, but he has court tomorrow and I'm not sure what to expect. We don't have an attorney or public defender at this time... does he need one before tomorrow or can he state at that time that he would like one? Does one always need some sort of representation?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thank you kindly...
