What is the judge going to say or ask me?
I am 17 and I received a MIP a little over a month ago. I did do the breathalyzer and blew a .058. I don’t know what to say when I walk into court or what the judge is going to ask me. I do not know who my prosecutor is. I also did talk to an attorney, and he suggested for me to do 20 hours of community service before my court date, but now since I waited so long I will not be able to do that. This is also my very first offense of any kind on my record.

The judge is going to inform you of the charge or charges against you and the possible penalties. Then the judge will ask how you plead. The judge will hopefully encourage you to ask for a continuance to contact an attorney. You should do so. In my area, MIP is a relatively easy charge to keep of your record. However, a local attorney can tell you more.
