    Default Caught Shoplifting and Lied About Identity in NYC

    A family member was arrested in Macy's at Herald Square. She was released and issued a desk appearance. She had given a fake name, address, and birth date although she was finger printed. Until today, I thought this was the first time she was ever arrested. She was also arrested about a year ago and spent one night in jail along with a day of community service. Again, she had given a fake name, address, and birth date. What should she do now? Will her case be worse because she lied and this is also her second offense? What can she expect?

    Her case will be worse on both isues false name and second offense. Best thing she can do now is seek a criminal defense Attorney

    Thanks! Her desk appearance is this Thursday. I started talking to different lawyers about a month ago, but finding out about the second offense, I don't know what to do now. She's over 55 years old and both offenses were less than $500. Does it make sense to hire someone now? I was hoping to ask the judge for a lawyer on Thursday.
