You are not going to be sentenced to any jail time under the circumstances you describe. But a skilled criminal defense attorney would need to discuss this matter with you in greater detail, & ask you many questions, in order to give you the complete, proper legal advice you need, & a quote to represent you. Once the case has been resolved to your satisfaction, you'll be glad you paid the money to hire an experienced attorney & properly protect your legal rights.

It likely depends on the amount involved. Are you charged with a misdemeanor or a felony?
