He will need to have an attorney on the case. The attorney will get copies of the police reports and represent him in court.

I would need to know more details about your case, but generally speaking DUI marijuana charges are good cases to fight. I would highly recommend that you speak to an attorney about the case in more detail. Also, along with the details about this case, other information is necessary to answer your question. Are there any other prior DUI charges? Was he already on probation? Was there a car accident involved, etc.

Hire the most experience attorney you can afford for him. The worst case scenario is jail. The best case scenario is an acquittal. In between there are many possibilities.

The worst is jail, loss of job possibilities, being barred from student loans, getting your license suspended etc. He should get a substance abuse evaluation right away and start whatever treatment that is recommended. There may be sum sort of diversion program available for this. Get a lawyer to help him.

What your son is facing is highly dependent on what particular court he is in. Also, he may have some valid defenses to the "driving while under the influence of marijuana" charge. Consult with a local Criminal Defense attorney to confirm all your son's options, defenses, and possible plea deals.

He needs to hire a DUI specialist. Drug DUI's are difficult to prove, but the consequences are identical to alcohol DUI's. By himself he will be convicted.
