I want to represent myself. Can he jail me if I do not have a lawyer
Representing yourself is your right, but it can be challenging. The judge can impose a sentence, including jail time, based on the evidence and case details, regardless of whether you have a lawyer. Make sure you're well-prepared with evidence of your improvement to potentially mitigate the sentence. If you change your mind about legal representation or need more guidance, feel free to ask!
