What will happen to my minor son if he gets pulled over for speeding and drugs?

In Massachusetts a 17 year old is considered an adult in criminal court. A criminal record will be created if he is charged with a crime. If he had less than an ounce of marijuana, no crime was committed. He can be fined civilly $100.00. Speeding is also a civil infraction, the fine is dictated by the mph over the speed limit. Drug Paraphernalia is a misdemeanor offense punishable with jail up to 2 years and/or a fine of $500 to $5000. If you son was not arrested an attorney may be able to stop criminal process. If he was arrested, he needs an attorney to challenge the case and avoid a conviction. Be advised,a drug case conviction may prevent your son from obtaining federal financial aid in college. Hire an attorney!

What can I do if the police searched my house without a search warrant?

Jason William Savela
Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
Criminal Law lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
you need a lawyer or Public Defender - tell the police, I want a lawyer and nothing else if the warrant was not approved until after raid, then entire search is bad - i have won search warrant cases - if the CI was never in the house, it would be tough for anyone to rely on his/her word about what happens there all jail calls are recorded. I would be happy to discuss representation.

What options do I have or will I be forced to serve jail time due to not paying my court fees?

If you had 9 months of probation, then it was not a class c. And, you didn't just fail to pay fees - you didn't do your community service AND you are an absconder - you quit reporting before your probation terminated. What could happen demands on the underlying charge; how you otherwise did on probation; whether you turn yourself in or get arrested; you explanation for not doing the community service - and there is not many decent ones; and whether you pay the money owed up front. You DO need a lawyer who knows the court and can handle the case BEFORE you get arrested.
