Ya I would DEFF get a lawyer for this one if you can afford it. It depends a lot on how your drving record is tho. If you really cant afford a lawyer, go to court and try to talk your way out of it. When you go see the DA, talk to him and see what hes thinking about lowering you shit to. If it seems like he isnt doing anything good, ask if you can get a PUBLIC DEFENDER IE. FREE LAWYER. Nothing is as cheap as FREE.
