What is the name of your state? California

I have been arrested for 647(f) PC Public intoxication last week in california. Carl helped a lot and give lots of replies but I am having some more questions and I think I will be helped again.

My question is that

1) If i go to court without an attorney do I have right to get an attorney from court.

2) If judge sentence jail time . Is that going to start at the same time. I mean will the cops take persons directly from court to county jail or there would be some days in between in which I can appeal for it.

This is my first offense and I have no previous anything bad on my records.As Carl said probably I will be paying fine and may be some class but I just want to be secure and dont want to go to jail at any of time.

Please respond.

Thanks

That depends on your financial situation and if you face any jail time for the offense.

It could ... but usually they set a surrender date.

However, if this is your first offense, the chances of you winning the lottery are better than the chances of you going to jail for a few days for public intoxication.

The only way to be sure is to speak with an attorney who can tell you the past practice in your county. Personally, I would be absolutely stunned if you did ANY jail time at all.
