Then hire an attorney to defend you if you want to minimize the chance of jail time. If this is in SoCal, feel free to contact me.

Yes, with no priors avoiding jail is possible but you need an attorney to investigate your case and represent you in court. There is no short cut here. If you cannot afford a private lawyer, one will be appointed for you on your first court date.

You really need to hire an attorney to fight for you. I can understand your reluctance to go to jail... who would want that. With no prior record and a good defense attorney you should be fairly successful.

Good Luck!
