    Default Arrested with two pounds of Marijuana

    My boyfriend, 25 years old, was arrested a few months back cuz his "friend" left Marijuana in his car. The cops told my BF that if he would tell who it belonged too, they would charge him with intent to deliver. And so that is what happened. His trial is coming up in a few weeks and his Public Defender doesnt seem to know what he is doing. The PD could have gotten him into a program and 6 months probabtion, but during the first hearing, worded things the wrong way. So, no program. He now has a change for 2 years probation or 2 years prison time. He wants to ask for a new PD, but is afraid of what may happen if he does so. He has no prior record, nothing but speeding tickets.

    He got a call from some guy in reference to a PreTrial Interview. He's a parole/probation officer. Does this mean probation looks good in his case or is this just a manadatory thing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Default Pretrial Interview

    It's a mandatory thing.

    The probation officer will complete a report and recommendation of sentence following the interview, which the court will use as a guide at sentencing.

    Default

    So this guy makes a suggestion to the judge?? Is it likely that the judge follows what is recommended??

    Does anyone know of any legal services that are good, but not too expensive in the South Florida Area (Ft. Lauderdale)? He really would like to have a lawyer instead of the PD.
