Yes, I would recommend getting a lawyer. Sometimes, it's just a good thing to have someone like that to help guide you through all the legal jargon and such so that you get the least sentance. Like, I had a great lawyer, and when i got arrested and such, he essentially talke to the judge and after i completed a class, they took the possesion charges off my record. One can't really ask for anything better than that, you know?
