I recommend that you interview at least 3 or 4 Attorneys who have a great deal of successful experience defending charges of minor in posession.

I recommend that you hire the Attorney that you think is best for your case. Please note that the Attorney should be able to show you a number of acquittals that Attorney has won for people who were charged with Minor in Posession.

Without an Attorney you will lose. There are no exceptions to that rule.

If you are represented by an Attorney who has  a good record of winning cases of Minor in posession and you have accurately described what happened you will probably win a dismissal of the charges or an outright acquittal.

I recommend that you hire the Attorney. Get started interviewing Attorneys now.

You weren't driving and the bottle was under your seat.Open container charges are put on the driver. Did you give the officer a hard time?

See a lawyer. You should be able to beat this.
