What to Expect for a Sentence for MIP

[cameron5762]

My question involves criminal law for the state of: washington

hello, my name is Cameron and im 19 years old. i was caught drinking in a hotel parking lot when i was walking to the hotel office to get my cigarettes "my friends hotels". the officer said i matched a description of somebody standing in the street. it wasn't me but he asked how much have i had to drink tonight and i told him i had a couple beers. well i took a breathalyzer test and all that good stuff, he ended up giving me a mip ticket and didnt bring me to jail. now i have a court date on may 22nd. i was caught in pondery county "Newport WA" and i live in king county "Seattle WA". this is my first offence for anything i cant afford a lawyer cause i have bills to pay. what my question is, what should i expect from court and if i do have to do any classes, can i be able to do them in Seattle?

thank you,
Cameron

You should discuss likely outcomes with a lawyer in the county in which you're charged, based upon the full facts including your own history with law enforcement.

i have a clean history with the law. but do i have to talk to a lawyer is that county? or could i talk to one in my county?
thank you for the reply.

You can talk to a lawyer in Japan if you choose. A local lawyer is typically going to be more familiar with local practices and policies.
