If you were cited as a civil infraction ticket, then you do not need an attorney, but if you were cited as a misdemeanor offense, then you may need an attorney for your first appearance as this will likely be your arraignment. Typically, if you can show the city attorney that you had no knowledge of your boyfriend's license suspension, and that you had no intent to let him drive, the ticket may be dismissed or greatly reduced. Speak with a criminal defense attorney in your area to further discuss your options.
