You will be able to get a fine and not have a criminal record. A public defender can get good results on a simple case like that.

It depends on why the person is in court. Generally, courts treat persons without drivers licenses the same as people with drivers licenses, except where having a valid drivers license is relevant to proceedings involving the person. For example, a person who has a valid drivers license who is charged with driving without a license might be found not guilty whereas a person who does not have a valid license might be found guilty (although an individual with a permit would likely be found not guilty). However, if you are charged with burglary, it makes no difference whether you have a drivers license.

If you have a learners permit and you are driving lawfully why are you in court in the first place? The state wants you properly licensed and insured. Make sure you do both. Since I don't know why you are in court or what the charge is I cant say what the outcome is likely to be.

We have no idea what you are asking. If you violated the terms of the permit, you will have to pay a fine.

You did not mention what he has been charged with. But likely will lose his license.

What did that person do? Driving without a license is a misdemeanor and the driver could be fined. There could be other consequences as well, depending upon what happened.
