Macys 3rd Degree Retail Theft In Michigan

how much will talking to an attorney cost me.
and if diversion is an option
how do i obtain that option?
do i have to apply for it?

Attorney fees vary but many offer free consultaion. Once you talk to Lawyer ask about Diversion as these programs vary

first time offense. do you honestly think i should be worried about being convicted?
i am a second year college student and i cannot afford to have this placed on my record FOREVER.

You committed theft yes you should be worried about an conviction

well what if im put on deferred probation?
are my chances good that they will let me prove myself?
what are outcomes of these cases usually

See last answer

The availability of diversion programs varies by county, and that option is not available in most Michigan counties.

A deferred sentence, such as HYTA sentencing, is more likely if you qualify and you otherwise have a clean record.

A local attorney can guide you through the process. Hire a lawyer, or request a court-appointed lawyer through the court.

okay-- how do i find out if HYTA is available in my county. (macomb)


my incident happened a week ago,
and i am no longer nervous.
its useless to worry about right?
just get legal help and thats the best i can do?

ALSO.
i heard if i plea not guilty...my sentance will be lighter.
i have a CLEAN SLATE...
but

if i also plea not guilty, i will have another court date and will that mean i will face macys reps???

it was only 100$ will they make that effort to fight me?
i am paying the civil demand...
