Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

Alright so back in August I was arrested for less than an ounce and in park after hours. It was my first offense so they put me on that 120 day Supervision. Like a month before I was supposed to get off I took my very first drug test and failed, my Officer told me that she was revoking my program and that I would be seeing the judge again. I don't have money for a lawyer and my court date is tomorrow. Will I be sent back to jail or put on a longer probation and have to take the classes ?

Get ready for jail. See website for info on retaining the right attorney for your next offense: http://www.lawrencelewispc.com/pages.php?go=pinfo&PID=38

You likely should expect jail when you violate probation by using drugs when on probation for drugs. However, each case is decided on its merits and a judge will decide your case based on what he hears.

It was foolish to violate your probation, and it would be even more foolish not to retain a lawyer, who might help you minimize the consequences and likely will help you in court. Even if you have to borrow the money, get a lawyer.
