Not so much. There is a law in California called PC1000. All first time felony possession suspects can opt to plead guilty and get Drug Counseling in lieu of Jail Time. It's available 1 time to most people. You have to complete 4 months of counseling and after 18 months of good behavior, the case is dismissed. It can be reopened if you get in trouble within the next 5 years.
I got the same deal with a public defender. So if he spent money on a lawyer, he may as well have wiped his backside with it.
