The crime is a B misdemeanor, and while you don't necessarily NEED a lawyer there is a very likely chance that retaining one would give you a much greater possibility of having the case dismissed or reaching a more favorable and reduced plea than if you went to court on your own. This area of law is our specialty, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination.
