I’ll be praying for you.
Get a lawyer if you can afford one. At least call one up. I was in a terrible car accident and needed some advice. As in my case they gave me legal advice over the phone (no charge) as to what to tell the judge to minimize any legal implications. But a written prepared statement helps clarify the thoughts of what to (and what not to) say.
It most likely will be a headache and an inconvenience.

A reputable attorney should provide limited legal advice if he/she believes there is really nothing that can be done to assist you.
