I have been charged with a

misdeamor assualt. This is my first

violation, have never been in trouble

with the law before. The charges

were dropped by the complaintant,

which was my boyfriend whom I live

happened prior to incident or before.

I went to jail and have a court date

coming up. Do I need an attorny?
