Based upon the facts you described, it appears that your attorney may be able to have some of the charges dismissed, and/or negotiate a plea. Without counsel, it is unlikely that you will be able to achieve these ends. You need to consult directly with counsel in your area, to examine the exact facts of your matter. Many defense attorneys offer a free or low cost initial. Consultation. Find one, and find out your options'

Good luck

The above answer is excellent, as usual, by Mr. Smith. If you are facing these charges in one of the many Courts where I practice regularly, I might be able to offer my services to you for a reasonable fee. I have been handling cases like this for thirty-five years. I would be happy to offer you a free consultation. In the meantime, you should appear in Court on your Court date, plead "Not Guilty" and ask for a continuance. I'm sure that the Judge will allow you time to hire an attorney.
