Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Your chances of a better result are with a better lawyer. After doing cases like yours for over 26 years, and being a Former Deputy District Attorney, I have seen, from both sides of the system, that a good lawyer can make all the difference, and that's what we have been doing for clients for over 20 years, since I left the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. So call an experienced law firm now and go over all the facts and the attorney should give you direction in this situation. I wish you well..........David

Yes you need a lawyer. Without knowing the facts I cannot tell you what the chances of a dismissal are. (Don't put the facts on line.). But even minor participation can end up with a conviction. Theft is a crime of moral turpitude and if possible you do not want to have it on your record. From your zip code it appears as if you are in Northern California. I have been practicing criminal defense in Northern California for over 28 years. If you want to hire an attorney you may call me at 415-336-7534 for a free consultation.

Yes, there are different degrees of involvement, but if you're charged, you face the same charges as a person "more involved". A theft conviction can have devastating effects on your future, so you need to do anything possible to avoid a theft conviction.

Yes, you absolutely need a lawyer.

Take your time searching for one. Don't fall for promises - nobody can guarantee an outcome.
