Re: usual sentencing for first offenses
You face up to a year in jail, as both of those charges are class A misdemeanors. Some, or all, of that time could be suspended. I think you can always be helped by legal counsel because I don't think prosecutors have any fear of untrained people representing themselves because they feel they can easily beat those defendants at trial, or they'll never go to trial.
