    Default Re: Help With A Shoplifting Incident

    Is it neccessary to get a lawyer we were caught and signed papers at khols already saying that we had tried to take the items. the guy that was charging us said somthing about retail fraud and that they were gonna try charging us with somthing else to I asked if it was larcany but he didn't reply. I tried asking the cop what we were being charged with and all he said was youll find out in the mail. Which i thought was rediculouse. So, im really not sure what else there gonna charge us with but isnt larceny a fellony. I dont want this stuff on my record.

    [QUOTE=wkim88;91299]I stole like 300 dollars worth of merchandise and i got arrested, after several weeks i went to court and i plead guilty because thats what everyone was doing and i didnt expect that it possible for me to go jail...



    Will I be sentenced to a jail sentence like that to if i dont bring a lawyer. I dont have any money to pay for a lawyer. I live in michigan how harsh are michighans laws for shoplifting.

    Consult with a criminal defense Attorney and dicuss diversion programs and if you qualify. diversion can help you avoid a conviction on your record and still meet requirements for penalties
