He needs to discuss all his options with a lawyer. He could be facing years in jail, and every day he delays getting counsel increases that possibility.

First, the judge will decide IF your son is sentenced as a first offender. Your son does not make that decision. Second, 1st offender does not keep your son out of prison. First offender is an opportunity to not have a conviciton on your record. So, he can be sentenced to prison and then get out and honestly write on an application that he has never been convicted of a felony.

Good luck.
