Never in my life did I think I would need a lawyer. I had always been a golden child, following all of the rules. I never got detention or
suspension in school, I stayed out of drugs and alcohol throughout high school, I respected my elders, I usually did not cuss, and
breaking a law was something I never thought to do. Therefore, why would I need a lawyer?
I suppose I did break a few rules here and there, but nothing ever big enough for a lawyer to become involved. The biggest trouble I
got into in high school was a speeding ticket I got my senior year. I remember I was late for a babysitting job, so I was speeding
because I wanted to be on time. The minute the cop put on his lights and started following me, my heart sank into my stomach and I
started to cry. Obviously, I was not used to getting into trouble. This incident, however, was not what caused me to need a lawyer . I
was not speeding that bad.
I went into college and, at first, I behaved myself. Second semester though I found out just how much fun partying could be. This is
what eventually caused me to need a lawyer. The first half of the semester I kept my partying to frat houses and house parties
because that was what everyone was doing. I was only 19, so I knew I had to be careful since I was underage to be drinking. Well,
one night there were no parties going on, but my dorm friends and I still wanted to have a good time. I got out my big bottle of vodka
and Scattergories, and we got into an intense game of drunken Scattegories. I was having so much fun and I was not at all worried
about getting into trouble or having to worry about getting a lawyer.
Everyone was winding down and the alcohol was put away when I heard a knock on my door. I asked who it was and the guy said it
was the police. I was kind of an idiot because I thought it was the boys down the hall, so I told them to come right in. Well, I was
definitely wrong. It was the cops and it resulted in me getting an MIP since we were drinking in my room and the alcohol was mine.
As soon as the ticket was issued, I started thinking that I needed to get a lawyer. I knew that a lawyer could probably help me with this
situation. I was so miserable and sobbing hysterically. I wanted to be a teacher and I knew that schools were not very tolerant of
MIPs. I was hoping and counting on a lawyer to help me out. I asked some of my friends who had been in trouble before and was
recommended the name of a lawyer. I went to see him the very next week and asked him what he could do to help me.
On my court date, my lawyer came and pleaded my case and I was granted a MIS which stands for minor in suspension. Basically, I
was on probation until I was twenty one. If I got caught with alcohol again I would be in big trouble, but if I did not my MIP would be
wiped clean from my record. Thankfully, I did not get in trouble with alcohol again and now I do not have anything on my record
thanks to my lawyer.
