Long as you appear in court your move is not at risk. There are plea options to minimize the harm done by your actions as well. Start calling lawyers many offer free consultations. Get as many as you can. ask them if diversion is available in your case
Do not plead guilty. It is like writing a blank check for the judge to cash.
Pleading not guilty gives you room to work out a deal with the DA. They can offer diversion or probation and help mitigate your exposure to this harmful charge
