QUESTION
I got arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct. I wasn't drunk, in fact I was the one that called the police. Do I need a lawyer?

More details to this question:
I called the police because I was being attacked my two people that were under the influence of drugs and alcohol and the police took me to jail. They informed me that if I didn't get in my car and drive away they would take me to jail. In the end they booked me for public intoxication. I was in town visiting relatives and I couldn't leave the place I was staying at. I've never been in trouble with the law before. That night I was the designated driver, in fact, the only driver because I was the only one with a car and license. Do I need a lawyer?

If you were charged with a crime then it goes without saying that you need to hire an attorney asap. But don't take my word for it, just go an observe a court proceeding in California and you shall have your answer very quickly.
