Do you mean what he should expect -- not to be out for a while. Probation violations like his will most likely lead to probation revocation and possible enhancements on his initial counts and new violations. I understand he is your boyfriend -- but think about his violations -- and what it can do to you. Do you really want to be around someone who tests dirty? Who violates probation? who had two felonies including a dwi?
Your boyfriend is entitled to a public defender. Let him deal with his public defender on what can be expected.
