I am currently filling out DS-156 and it asks 'yes' or 'no' to several items in question 38.

Have you ever been arrested or convicted for any offense or crime, even though subject of a pardon, amnesty or other similar legal action? Have you ever unlawfully distributed or sold a controlled substance(drug), or been a prostitute or procurer for prostitutes?

I have been arrested and cautioned twice in my life, for 'Criminal Damage', basically a bit of graffiti as a kid.

How do I fill this part out?

My fiance has a guide book for the paperwork in p3. It advises in it "if any of the following questions are answered yes, you MUST hire a lawyer before continuing"

Is this right? Do we really need a lawyer? Or would gaining the arrest record from the arresting police stations be sufficient enough to hand in at the interview?
