Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I live in California. the Orange County DA is charging me with PC502C1 and GC6200C. I don't even know what that is. I was arrested with 20000 bail. I paid 2000 to aladdin bail bonds and Im on at home. I have a court date of April 20, 2015. I don't have an attorney, I don't think I can afford one.

what could happen if I don't bring my own attorney to court?

Do I need an attorney?

Will it help me If I have an attorney when I go to court?

what would the difference be?

You're being charged with computer access fraud and some sort of theft by a custodial officer.

That's what those charges are as you posted them. Don't post anythijgnelse regarding the facts online.

You should always have an attorney. If you truly cannot afford one (and you'll never know if you can or not unless you meet to discuss your case, fees and payment options), you can request that a public defender be appointed.

Many attorneys in Orange County including myself give free initial consultations.

It is important that you at least speak to an attorney before going to court. Most attorney's give free consultations,myself included,that way you can determine if one is affordable to you.
