I got 3 tickets- fake ID, drunkenness, and underage possession. How much are court filing fees going to be for all of these? Also, any idea of what my consequences will be, or any advice for the court date?

The fines you face should be written on your tickets. There will be no filing fees. Best suggestion is to hire an attorney in your area to achieve the best outcome possible. Good luck.

With three charges, hire a lawyer. Your lawyer can attempt to negotiate a dismissal or diversion type deal to keep your record clean. Consult with an attorney. Good luck!

The fines vary from court to court. Usually anywhere from $200 to $500 for each ticket. However, if you have no criminal record or no serious criminal convictions, then you qualify for one of the programs available which will avoid prosecution and will keep these off your record. Plus, there will be no fines. The other answers you received were correct when they advised you to retain an attorney. If you pay these tickets, they will result in criminal convictions and you will have a criminal record. You would be far better off avoiding that.
