Re: Possession of a controlled substance
Sure you can fight it - just understand that the burden of proof is much lower for a probation violation. A typical defendant's chances of beating a charge like yours is pretty slim. If you originally pled to a 5 year felony (OWI-3x/10 years), you're looking at jail or prison time on your VOP.
Before you contact a lawyer, make a decision. Do you want to continue to be arrested for the consequences of using drugs and alcohol, or do you want to get clean and sober?
You're really dealing with probation - the court gives great weight to its recommendations. If probation can't see a turnaround in your behavior (e.g. Rehab,AA,NA), expect an unhappy result.
If you won't clean up, you're wasting a lawyer's time. I will not represent active drunks and drug addicts.
