The outcome will be determined by the DA and judge, and influenced by your attorney and whatever evidence he has to work with in your defense. You face up to 6-12 months in jail if convicted and sentenced to the full penalty, depending upon the specific charges brought. Your attorney's job is to minimize the penalties in a plea bargain to avoid being forced to trial. If serious about hiring counsel to represent you, feel free to contact me.
