You need to contact an attorney. IMMEDIATELY.

There are ways to handle these cases -- I have done so many times. But they have to be handled carefully.

If handled right you can end up with everything dismissed and no effect on your life or career.

If handled wrong, you end up with a conviction, a divorce, and losing your career.
