My question involves criminal law for the state of: CA
I am currently on informal probation for a dui i got in 08. Last week I was arreted for a felony possesion charge (Meth) and a missdeameanor charge for pharaphanelia (pipe). I was released in the morning on my own recongnizence or something like that. When I go to court am I looking at time? Should I get a lawyer? Since my probation was from a dui are these new charges consider a violation please help and thank you so much.
