Get legal advice as soon as possible

The consequences of being convicted (convicted = pleading guilty or being found guilty) of a criminal offence can be severe; often worse than you might think. Apart from the Court penalty (eg prison, fine, community service etc), the conviction will go on your criminal record, possibly reducing your job prospects and overseas travel opportunities. Even relatively minor offences such as driving without a licence, possession of small amounts of drugs, minor assaults etc can carry harsh consequences. You should therefore contact a criminal lawyer as soon as possible for advice about the charge, the possible penalties and the best course of action for your particular case. It is important to get that advice even if you intend to represent yourself in Court.
