You do not want to plead guilty. If you do, you will have convictions on your permanent record that may very well cause serious negative consequences for you in the future. Anytime that you have to fill out an application (job, loan, school, e.g.) you will need to answer the question "Have you ever been convicted?" So, I would advise you to hire the very best criminal defense attorney you can afford. He, or she, may be able to help you defend the charges against you or at least help you to avoid the convictions wherever possble. Good luck.
