Where were you trespassing? where were you? I would need more to help you here, but the fact that you have no record and this is a first offense, the penalty/exposure is most likely a fine. However, there may be ways for this to be resolved without you having a criminal record. For instance, you may be able to do community service of make a charitable contribution to get it dropped. I would speak to a criminal defense lawyer. Most lawyers in thei area give free consultations and you can shop around to get a good price as the lawyer should only have to go to court 1 time to get this done - 2 times at the most. Do not g to court on your own as you will be treated differently. You should think about the expense as paying to save you from having a record.
