Okay, I have a felony possession charge against me. I was stopped and the police found crack cocaine in a drink can. They said three of them and I only saw one, when they poured the drink on the ground. The drink can was in the middle of my car seat in a drink holder. Anyway, my lawyer is going to tell a Superior Court Judge that I pulled into the driveway and saw the dope. Which sound awful bad to me and it's not the truth. The other guy is tring to say it was my dope, I am not a crack head. I have been to court three times now for drug court and fill out papers for drug court and nother has happened yet. Is this the norm? It's my first offense and last, believe me. I will NEVER have anyone in my car again, except my mother. I have paid my lawyer 2500 dollar for this. He even asked me, if I knew any drug dealers, which I don't. I need to know should I hired another lawyer. He kepts telling me I am not going to jail and then slams me with this.

Hi there: I would suggest that you definitely need a new attorney. To start, it is a breach of the code of professional conduct for an attorney to knowingly present the court with false information; if it was my attorney, I would report him to the state bar. I would also recommend that you have your attorney put into writing exactly what is required of you in this process and what to expect. Start a paper trail in case he starts giving you bad information as well. It is not uncommon for there to be multiple court appearances before anything "happens". I would suggest that you be patient and just make sure that your attorney puts his words into writing. There is no reason why he should not summarize what has happened and what he claims will happen in your case.
