GET A FUCKING ATTORNEY. We can all give you advice but the most important thing is to get a lawyer, the best one you can afford. A good lawyer goes a long way.
No shit. Public defenders suck. When I was in juvenile for assault on an officer the public defender they assigned me was recommending that they keep me until trial, it was as if she was against me. I got a real lawyer just in teime and he got me out that day.
Exactly. My point was more of a "If you think you mght need an Attorney, you need an attorney" Don't ask if we think you need one, if you have to ask us then you do.

The more you seen trials like this, the more it seems that the public defenders are only there because of a legal obligation. They know they're not getting reimbursed shit, so they don't care about you at all. The only way to have any shot in court is to hire your own attorney.
My lawyer is a baller. When I was 17 I got charged with underage consumption, drug paraphernalia, and underage possession of tobacco. My lawyer worked some magic and took a plea bargain, and I only got charged for the cigarettes. Bwahaha take that Mr. Po-lice man!
Another time I was charged with leaving the scene of an accident (felony), improper backing, and something else I forgot, and I only ended up getting charged with improper backing, a mere moving violating.
I got a public defender for my Drug Paraphernalia charge, he was chill as shit. He used to do similar cases privately, but the economy had forced him to take up Public Defending, so he claimed. He basically handled all my paperwork and got me into some diversion program, and for only $25!.
Best part is, now I see him when Im buying beer all the time,
"Wassup, Mr so&so!"
"Hey, Deadham! Staying outta trouble?"
"You bet!" [buying two cases of cheap beer]
"That's good" [buys 6pack of Bud pounders]
hilarity.
seriously though, if you get in any real trouble (more than an underage drinking thing, minor possession, paraphernalia, etc), get a fucking lawyer.

you are fucking crazy if you dont get a lawyer for any legal trouble whatsoever even if it is something minor

What about getting charged with a DUI? Say you get charged with a DUI and your drunk/dumb enough to blow the breathalyzer wouldn't you pretty much be fucked no matter what after that??

If there's a way out a lawyer will find it. Don't worry about paying for the lawyer, take out a loan, it's a goddamn investment in your future as much as paying for schooling. Try getting a good job with a few felonies on your record
