    Hire an attorney. If you cannot afford one, plead not guilty at your hearing and request a public defender. If you qualify, one will be appointed to you.

    If you have an attorney, he/she may be able to reguest a deferred sentence; you pay a fine, communit service, alcohol awareness classes and serve probation. If all are completed successfully, the charges will be dismissed and there will be not record of it.

    Are you being charged in adult or juvenile court?

    The costs vary and so do the fines. If your placed on probation you will also likely have a fee with that as well. There is also costs associated with classes. You should be able make arrangements with the court for payments.
