Good Morning
Firstly have a solicitor represent you.
You also have to explain why this happened and show deep remorse for the situation and seek the courts leniency.
If you are working or have commitments that would be affected if you go to jail, and the negative effect is on the employer and the third party this also should be put the the court.
If you can get references from them to support this, this will also assist.
But in the end it is up top the court and the magistrate on the day.
Also pleading guilty at the first appearance also is on your favour
I hope this has answered and assisted with your further question.
Regards
