What should I do at my upcoming arraignment for the charge of furnishing alcohol to underage persons?

A few days after turning 21, I attended a concert with my sister. Then 2 young girls came to sit behind us, 1 of whom was holding a half-empty beer cup. After several songs and chatting briefly with the girls, I decided to get another beer for myself. Upon overhearing this, the girl behind me asked if I would get her another one while I’m up. She handedme the money and I agreed. At this point, because she was holding a beer already, I had no reason to believe she was under 21. When I returned with the beer, I handed it to her. A citation/court date was given to me for furnishing alcohol to a minor. Should I speak with a criminlal/DUI attorney? I’m in Douglas, CO.
