Since you are a minor, you will be appointed a public defender or a court appointed attorney by the court with respect to the marijuana charge against you. I suggest that you speak with your parents about the charge against you in order to get things in order.

I suggest that you confer with your parents concerning the need to get you the court appointed attorney in place.
