If I got a ticket for buying alcohol for a minor, is there any way to get it dismissed or reduced?

I’m 21 and currently in college. I’m determined to go to med school and join the officer program in the Navy. It is all now in jeopardy.

Since you have been charged with a crime for buying alcohol for a minor, I recommend that you immediately consult with a criminal defense attorney to see what can be done to help resolve the matter against you so that it does not impact your future plans to go to medical school or join the navy. Potentially the court may place you on court probation for the offense and if successful on the probation, the charge could be dismissed with no negative results for you.
