I'm in Montana. When I went to the first hearing, I asked for a court appointed lawyer, but was told by the clerk that I couldn't get one unless there was a mandatory jail sentence. Now the Asst. DA tells me that the minimum in this type of sentencing is $335.00 fine and 10 days in jail.
Have I been denied my rights? Can I get this thrown out on a technicality?
A lawyer here in MT told me I should have been given an attorney anyway. I also told the Asst. DA I couldn't afford one and she did not offer any help. I need this asap. Omnibus on Monday, 9/25.
