Yes - you must have an attonrey in this situation.
If you have been charged - you should have been notified that if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you - the Public Defender's Office.
Do not make any statements to anyone about the case - GET AN ATTORNEY

Yes - you definitely should get an attorney. Also since you are being investigated, you have the right to remain silent - even if you have not been formally charged with a crime. If you are charged, you can e arrested. Often law enforcement officers, even if they plan to arrest a suspect, do not arrest the suspect until after they question the suspect. That way they do not have to let you know about your right to remain silent. If they arrest you before questioning you, they have to tell you about your right to remain silent. That's why they often try to question you first. But eithr way, you have the right to remain silent. Remaining silent cannot be used against you. I believe it is urgent that you talk to an attorney immediately before deciding how to proceed.
