TITLE: I need legal advice.
POST: Simple story. I got pulled over last week, and in doing so, the police officer smelled weed on me, searched me, and after a while of crap, my mom picked me up and took me home. I will be receiving information in the mail about my crimes, but I have already spoken to a lawyer and had a sit down with him and my father. I am 19, have my head on straight and just liked to smoke casually a few times a week after work or with friends. I have self chosen to stop smoking since the incident and I do not see myself starting again for a while. Here is my dilemma.

My lawyer is well known in the county, knowing a lot of the police officers in the area, the DA, blah blah, etc, etc. During the sit down, he suggested a lawyer he was going to try to get me. The meeting was a few days ago and I remembered the name. I work at a gym, and a member just checked in with the same name. I, shocked, google imaged him, and sure enough there he was. 

My question is this: in court, would it be favorable for me to know to the judge, even as a small acquaintance, or not. Obviously afterwards he would recognize me at work. I know nothing of his personality or history in small drug matters such as this, but can anyone give me a piece of advice on the matter?
TL;DR: 
I was busted for possession of a small amount of weed, and the lawyer told me a judge he wanted to get for me. Turns out the judge comes into where I work often.
