    Default Caught With Drug Paraphernalia While on Probation in Another County

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio

    I'm sure you guys will just tell me that I'm screwed and I need an attorney, but I know that. What I don't know is what I could reasonably expect the attorney to do for me. I know the worst case. I'm trying to figure out the best case.

    First, I'm on probation in one Ohio country for paraphernalia and marijuana.

    A couple weeks ago, I was busted for drinking at a party. I got charged with underage consumption/possession, paraphernalia and obstruction because the cop said I tried to hide the paraphernalia.

    There's no way I'm getting out of the underage consumption charge. I admitted to it, and I failed the tests.

    Is there a reasonable chance I could plead or negotiate away the paraphernalia or obstruction charge? Is this where an attorney might make a difference? If there's little chance a prosecutor will let this one go, then what could an attorney possibly do for me?

    Also, I already had my arraignment, where I pled not guilty. My next date is a "pretrial." What's that?

    Sometimes a lawyer can make a difference. Other times, you can find that the hole you dug yourself into is too deep for a clean exit. You should discuss your case with your lawyer.
