[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 184729, member: 2459"] If this is his first court appearance for this, generally it will be a reading of the charges and an appointment of a lawyer if you need one. Whether or not you get your own lawyer or use a court appointed one really depends on your town. Where I live (or at least our experiences with them) the court appointed ones are pretty good. They have kept difficult child's sentences pretty fair and easy in my opinion. You may want to ask around about the lawyers that the court uses. Another thing to keep in mind, you may be there all day just waiting. When our court has juvie court, everyone goes in in the morning and they call cases. We've never known when our turn will be so sometimes we've gotten done relatively quickly and other times we've been the last case heard. No one told us that the first time and it can make for a long day. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
