You aren't in a particularly good position here. A previous conviction discounts what will inevitably be your solicitor's primary defence; that defence being that you were drunk and are usually of good character. Previous possession of illegal substances proves that you are not necessarily of good character.

A further barrier to a custodial sentence would have been your commitments as a single parent or carer. You mention that you pay CSA and, as such, I assume that your ex-partner has custody of your children.

Striking an officer is an extremely serious offence. Your previous conviction allied to a lack of parental commitments indicate that a custodial sentence is almost a certainty.
