From a practical standpoint, an attorney could "ease" you into the system. An attorney may be able to facilitate the time and place of surrender rather than you just showing up and being whisked off to jail for booking. He/she may also be able to facilitate a release without the need for bond. and possibly a quick resolution without the need for further jail. Perhaps even a dismissal of charges.
