public intoxication first offense

i got a public intoxication which is my first offense of any kind. i will also get charged with minor consumption since i am 20. i have a court date next month. should i get an attorney or is this just to tell me the charges? plus what are some good tips for pre-trial diversion? does anyone know how much i will be fined? if you could answer any of these that would be great.
