If it is a first time offense, it should not affect your custody of your daughter. IMHO.

You're facing up to a year in jail and/or a fine. Your best bet is to not risk it by trying to have the charges dismissed or reduced. To do this I would recommend hiring an experienced attorney. I would be happy to discuss your case with you. Please contact me directly if interested.
