Make your court appearance when scheduled; be neatly dressed and polite, and make it clear to the judge or other hearing officer that you understand what you did was wrong. Unless you also did some property damage, you'll probably get off with a warning.

What will happen? Prosecution for the crime.

You are always entitled to represent yourself in court. Whether you should is a different issue. The conventional wisdom is that an attorney will be able to do a better job and get a better outcome. Prosecutors and judges don�t like dealing with ProPers, unless you are simply pleading guilty, not defending the case.

Get an attorney to represent you. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me.
