Legal Question in Traffic Law in Maryland

Fake-ID Citation

Hello, I am 20 years old and was caught by a police officer with a fake-id trying to get into a bar. I have a court date in January. My record is otherwise clean. What penalties could I be facing and should I have a lawyer present at my court date? Thanks!
