Do not plead guilty. Go to your Court date and ask for a continuance for time to hire an attorney. I've handled hundreds of drug cases over the last 37 years, and may be able to help you, or help find another attorney. If you can't beat the charge against you, you can still negotiate a plea bargain to avoid jail and hopefully avoid a conviction on your record. A conviction would hurt you in many ways for the rest of your life. Call me for a free telephone consultation!
