I cannot afford legal representation, what is the best case / worst case scenario. What are the usual proceedings for this type of case. Help, don't know what to do.

The "usual proceedings" are that your husband is charged with a misdemeanor, which could result in fines, jail time and inability to get a job, ever. Why do you say you cannot afford legal representation? How many attorneys have you called?
He can afford to ask for the court to appoint a public defender.
He needs to apply to the Public Defender, and ask those questions when the PD has all the facts and charges to review. He faces a new misdemeanor that could put him in jail for up to a year, plus the original charges he skipped on. If he decides to hire private counsel, feel free to contact me.
