My question involves criminal law for the state of: Illinois
Hello everyone . I don't know where to start . Some details are as follows ;
No previous convictions misdemeanor or felonious .
Non Violent offense
Convicted of Possession of Crim. Subst. and I received two years of felony probation when all said and done.
Originally the judge had given me I believe task drug school (4classes) and as I was told it would be a misdemeanor offence , and even that might be removed upon completion of the classes , im not sure however.
Anyway my son was born and I couldn't afford to lose my job (big mistake)
and I got a letter in the mail telling me I believe I had a warrant and my next court date .
I showed up to the court date without my lawyer and thought I might get another chance at the classes but was wrong , the judge was pissed and I got 2 weeks in cook county jail until my next court date when my attorney could show up.
Long story short , is there any way I could appeal or something and even possibly get a chance at the drug classes again or get my felony reduced , expunged , sealed , or am I screwed.
I have started college again but what I want to do requires I have a clean background check. I can not even get a job at Walmart or K-mart as it is. Also I have not been in any trouble for about 6 months. Also I have been in rehab and been clean per my probation orders for that time also.
