<human>: Hello there,
First of all, let me tell you that I am asking for help here because I am a 22 year old university student and I honestly can't afford to go talk to a lawyer on my own, so any help answering this would be great and I thank you all in advance.

Some things happened last year and long story short, I got beaten up by a cop and my lawyer couldn't get me (and by that, I really mean, didn't even try to get me...) anything better than a plea bargain for a misdemeanor PC 148(a) (willful obstruction) which the D.A had knocked down from a trumped up felony charge of PC69 (resisting arrest). Here's the worst part, I was scared, never even had a ticket before this in my life and my lawyer said that the deal they were offering was the best I could get (14 days community service, fines, anger management class and 3 years of summary probation) so I took it.

I just tried to have the public defenders office get rid of my summary probation (I'm a year and 4 months into it now) and start the expungement process but they told me that they won't do anything until I'm at least 2/3 of the way through the 3 years (July 2012) and that I have to show good reason, even though I did everything the court asked a whole year ago.

Okay last and most important part. I have to renew my green card, probably should send the forms in April as it expires in August of 2012. I have been in the US legally for 20 years now...so my point is, can I be denied the renewal/and or even deported for this and does anyone know any place in southern california, Los Angeles to inland empire area, where I can get free help from some kind of immigration advocacy group? I should mention I didn't have any prior charges and I have never been in trouble afterwards either.

I know that was long, sorry but I am quite worried about this, like I said, I have lived here since I was very young and I don't even really speak my native tongue very well.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Have a misdemeanor on my record, still have summary probation for two years and I can't get rid of it, will it affect my green card renewal next year? Am I basically screwed?
