Wow, The Irony

i made a post about my son shoplifting yesterday. (http://www.expertlaw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26860)

he was caught at walmart today using the same method.

our family is very unruly and heart broken about this even though i was the only one that knew (his mom) and did not tell his father.

police were called because he was uncooperative.

he stole almost up to 25$ worth of yugioh?cards.

he had some of his cards with him that he did not steal, but they kept the cards anyway, can they do that?

and what should i be expecting in the mail and the amount of money this whole thing will cost including lawyers?

the officers said walmart will be pressing charges, this will be a misdemeanor, and it will go on his record.

please share your knowledge.

thank you.

You can expect

.Probation
.Community service
.Fines (you will have to pay)
.Ban from retailer
.Criminal record

You can also expect Civil Demand. This is outside of court. A letter will come in the mail from a Law Firm or Civil recovery service the amount will be less than $1000.00 probably around $300.00. Far as Lawyers goes call around but I would guess cheapest price you may be quoted will be $1000.00 for the simplist defense

thank you very very much.
