My son (20 years old) was convicted of an MIP (marijuana) 3 months ago. His sentence was a one year suspension of his driver's license and a fine. Last night he was given a ticket for an MIP of alcohol. He said he was moving an open bottle from inside his friend's car to the trunk. What will the fine be and will there be an addition license suspension? What are the long-term effects of having two misdemeanor convictions? Should he retain a lawyer? Would there be any benefit to him signing up for alcohol classes before the court date?
