Leavin scene/damage, DUS, no ins. What can i expect when i get to court ? Would it be in my best interest to hire a lawer or use court appoint attorney ?
A: Not enough information to know what exactly could occur in terms of an offer of punishment or plea bargain. You need to hire an attorney immediately. If you are indigent (can't afford a private attorney) then you can complete a pauper’s affidavit and seek a free attorney to represent you.
A: Hire a good attorney always.
