You are charged with misdemeanors and if you can afford one ,you should retain a competent criminal defense attorney. You may have defenses which might result in dismissal, acquital, or at worst a good plea-bargain. I handle matters such as yours on a regular basis, so contact my office @7188340087 for a phone consultation.
