Meth charge first offense,less than a gram what can a lawyer do and what am I looking at? -

I requested a court appointment lawyer when I was arrested. This happened over a month ago in Texas and have yet to hear from a lawyer. I can t afford one. Do I have to have one I am guilty and what can a lawyer really do for me?

Doubt there d be any jail time involved. First offense you re probably looking at a fine, community service, and 12 months probation which will include urine tests. A public defender will more than likely be fine for what you need. If you don t plan on fighting it, it s a matter of your lawyer talking to the DA to work out some kind of deal which normally involves pleading down to a lesser charge in exchange for a no contest plea.

Call a Public Defender s office. You should have someone to help you with the legal jargon and process. Whatever happens, I hope you learn your lesson from this experience and don t mess around with that stuff again. It will ruin you.

You should probably lay off the meth.

I think i would be calling my public defender and begging them to see if you can get a lesser charge (plea deal) that includes probation and rehab...if you dont do this expect the worst. you will get the above regardless,but by contacting your public defender may save you from doing jail time. good luck....

Is this your first offence? maybe a couple weeks in jail, i guess a lawyer can help you
