I am 17 years old. Recently I was in a casino for a 18 year old friends birthday. I used my fake id to get in and to attempt to buy alcohol. Long story short I was caught the police were called and I was charged with attempting to use a fake id to buy alcohol. I realize this is punishable by up to $1000 and 90 days in jail. I realize I screwed up but now am looking for advice on what to do. I would like to keep this off my record if possible. Does anyone know a usual punishment for a first time offender with no past criminal history? How does one go about requesting deferred adjudication? And should I get a lawyer? Maybe another dumb question but am I able to get a public defender for free or do I have to hire someone? How do I find an appropriate lawyer for this case?
