My friend was cited for purchasing alcohol for 2 minors in Baton Rouge. He was told that a letter will be mailed informing him of his court date. Does anyone here know what he might face in court and should he look for an attorney?

It can be a fine or jail time. I would suggest that he speak with an attorney. You can locate one through the attorney locator on Lawinfo's home page at http://www.lawinfo.com/. Some do offer free consultations.
