    Exclamation Should I Hire a Lawyer for Commercial Burglary Charges

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: CALIFORNIA

    I am 25 years old and I was caught shoplifting at Macys and a report was filed through their Loss Prevention team and video was documented as well. This is my first offense ever and I don't know anything of the law. I was booked and arrested and am now out on bail, charged w Penal Code 459. For my court date, should I hire a lawyer to represent or go with the DA? What charges should I expect? Please help, all advice is appreciated.

    What do you mean, "go with the DA"? The district attorney is a prosecutor, representing the state - not you.

    Nobody is going to tell you not to consult or hire a lawyer.
