anyone have, or know someone who has, been arrested for pot in new jersey?

i got arrested on Christmas night, smoked in car, and cop pulled me over for stupid bs, i apparently made an improper turn. smelled the pot, found the roach. i was with my bud and i took the blame, he got off. got charged with improper turn, possion of marijuana under 50 grams (its a disorderly persons offense in NJ), and being under the influence controlled dangerous substance.

the cop told me i probably won't lose my license and to "work with him" that he will try to lower it the best he can, i've never been in any real trouble, but i was arrested a year ago in NY for stupid bullshit, and got off with discharge

so im wondering if you guys have any clue what might happen/advice. i haven't told my parents and would really rather not spend money on a lawyer. do i need a lawyer? is is that serious?
