A:
Well, there are quite a variety of misdemeanor charges with which a person can be charged Anything from public intoxication up through possession of a controlled dangerous substance or assault and battery on your wife, husband, someone with eco you have been in a relationship or family member. The short answer is “yes” you need an attorney in most cases because you don’t want to take a conviction on your record for a crime that involves dishonesty (like stealing a candy bar) or domestic abuse. It’s usually better to hire an attorney if you want some assurance that you’re gonna get the very best level of hard nosed negotiation on your case to give you the best possible result.
Having said all that many of people do choose to proceed without an attorney either because they don’t care about their record or they simply don’t have the money to hire one. Most judges when you’re having trouble hiring a Most judges when you’re having trouble hiring, an attorney will offer you a “Pauper’s Affidavit” and you might get a free court appointed attorney.
Best of luck!
