  • Well that depends on what you're trying to do. If you're going to try pleading not guilty, then yes, get yourself a lawyer. If you're going to plead guilty, a lawyer isn't necessary, but may be able to find a way to lighten your sentence. If you're going to try to request the diversion process (the possibility of entering the program might be offered to you, but you might have to request it when the judge is asking how you plead) then you don't really need a lawyer for that.

  • I don't really know what the actually penalties may be, suffice to say that there is a potential for jail time, some fees, some community service, or some combination of the three.
    Yes, both people can be charged because ownership is not required to be in possession. It was in the vehicle with you within easy access of all parties within the vehicle, so all may be charged with possession.
    A diversion program is typically offered to first-time offenders, which typically consists of a court fee and light probation. Successful completion of that will get the whole ordeal erased from your record.
