Q: Do i need a lwayer and what will punishment be dor code 46.2-722 i am first timer never in trouble
A: Strictly speaking, a lawyer may not be necessary, but it would be advantageous to have one. A lawyer will be able to look at your case, see the options available, and work for the best possible outcome. You may have a defense you do not see, for instance. A lawyer also knows the system and the proceedure to be able to guide you and avoid some of the pitfalls of the legal justice system.
