Penalties for a First Degree Misdemeanor

My brother and I were both charged with aggravated menacing. He was actually arrested and I was let go, but received a summons. The police said that it was a first degree misdemeanor. Neither of us have a record, except for traffic violations. What type of sentence is most likely for this type of first time offense and should an attorney be hired?
