A: I agree with my colleague. You should consult with a criminal defense attorney regarding your options.
A: However, if by "guilty" you actually mean a family violence protective order, a family law attorney (especially one with a law enforcement and criminal defense background), will be able to discuss options with you. Time is of the essence though if you plan to challenge this and have legal grounds to do so.
