cought with less than 1 ounce (first offense) in lake tahoe nevada

[brigante]

Hello all
I'm an italian student right now in Santa Cruz CA for an exchange program. Two week ago I was in Stateline, Lake Tahoe Nevada and I was cought by cops with a few grams of weed.
I got just a citation for July 27th and bail amount is 632$!On the citation is write possession of Marijuana less than an ounce first offense. I'm afraid of what's is going to be in front of the court also because I'm not Us citizen.
What Will I expect from the judge? Is it better to hire a lawyer? the sheriff at that time said me that it is not necessary to go at the court with a lawyer?

thanks a lot to help me and sorry for my bad English

enjoy
Luigi
