You should definitely have a skilled criminal defense attorney with you at the arraignment, to be sure your legal rights are protected. Such an attorney would need to discuss this matter with you in greater detail & ask you many questions before he/she could give you the proper legal advice you seek (& possibly a quote to represent you). Schedule a consultation ASAP.

Why wait to hire the attorney? If you plan to hire one, get the attorney in as soon as possible. Waiting will not help the attorney, the case, or you.

At the arraigned the judge will go over your charges. If you want an attorney you will need to enter a not guilty plea.
