    Having recently been involved with a false accusation, I would at least contact a lawyer. After explaining your circumstances, they may not need to accompany you butat least you will know your rights and have someone to fight for you and your best interests. Most lawyers will offer a free consultation.

    If you have no priors go for diversion.
    Once diversion is completed all charges dropped & no criminal record.
    Otherwise fine & probation.
