Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

I am currently in jail on a narcotics distribution (marijuana) over half an ounce charge, which I guess is a class 5 felony? This is my second time being arrested on the same charge. I have not served time for the first arrest, I was offered 2 months in jail and drop to a misdemeanor, but I got arrested again in the meantime. Im setting in jail in Virginia and have a court date in a month. I am 21 years old. How much time am I looking at.

A good question which you should take up with the local competent

criminal defense counsel whom hopefully you have by now to

represent you in this matter.

And, if, perhaps, you lack the funds necessary to hire such an attorney on your own, then you should ask the court to qppoint one for you.
