Re: criminal charges of possession
Yes, you should get a lawyer, to represent you in this jailable, Class 1 misdemeanor offense. If you cannot afford to hire such, then ask the court to appoint you one.
This lawyer whom you will hire or whom will be appointed by the court to represent you in this matter, will be in the best position to advise you regarding your last two questions.
