    Unhappy Just Caught for Shoplifting, Scared

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Iowa
    I was just picked up for shoplifting from a retail store, amount of clothing was $290.00. I have definitely learned my lesson and will not do this again, but it's my 1st offense. Do I need to contact a lawyer if I'm just going to plead guilty & ask for a deferred judgment? I have never been arrested or even been in a court room before, so I am pretty much a mess right now and feel so stupid. Does anyone know what type of charges I will be getting or any advice would be great. I really have no one to talk to Thanks!

    A lawyer can advise you if you're eligible for a deferral or diversion program. They don't just hand 'em out like candy.
