Unfortunately, the NH court/justice system does not work that way. I would bet my home that if the OP went it alone, s/he would be convicted of the original offense, with the mandatory punishment applied. No question. The benefit of hiring an attorney is that the prosecutor will negotiate with the defendant's attorney out of respect for the attorney and the motivation to avoid a protracted case.
