Hello. You need to confer immediately with an attorney. Some attorneys are available seven days for emergency legal needs. Many attorneys will confer initially at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys will provide a reduced fee for financial hardship. Some attorneys may also assist you in limited scope manner to conserve legal costs. All the best.

Consult your public defender or hire a private attorney to consult. You may request that the judge grant you time to consult an attorney given the change in sentencing.
