My son who lives in indianapolis Indiana has been charged with probabtion violation, his original charge was possession of marijuana, don't really know any details I am in North Carolina, at the time he had been fired from his job but the judge would not give him a public defender because he felt he should have some money, he does not have any, he violation consists of missing a community serve date and has not been able to pay the money he was ordered to, he recently turned himself in and is going to be jailed later today with a court date scheduled for the 28th of this month facing a year in prison, I guess my question is should we get an attorney, what can they do at this point and the fact is none of us can really afford one at this time?
