Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland
Will I need a lawyer if my husband lied to press charges against me because I was defending myself from him when he was assaulting me?

Maybe, depending on the exact circumstances and where you are going to court. Anytime you are charged with a crime that carries a 10 year possible sentence, any judge will certainly advise you to get a lawyer.

A lawyer can evaluate the evidence and the law in your case, advise you, and defend you in the event that the state decides to prosecute you. Innocence does not guarantee that you will not be prosecuted.
If you are charged with a criminal offense, you should have a lawyer. You do not want a criminal conviction on your record.
