ticketed for underage possession and open container
Question Details: I am 19 living in Ohio and I was ticketed for underage possession of beer and open container. Do I need a lawyer? Can I pay a fine and court costs ahead or do I have to appear in court? What can I expect as punishment?

This attorney is licensed in Ohio
My advice is that you seek the advice of an Attorney that practices in that jurisdiction.
Alternatively, if you are in college, the school may have some attorneys contracted to handle these types of matters for you for free or for a greatly reduced cost.
You may also inquire at the clerk's office about a diversion program.
