Re: Shoplifting first offense

You need an attorney. Perhaps you do not realize how this may effect your record, and how your record may effect you in later life. It would be a definite mistake to try to handle this without expert legal counsel representing you throughout the process. If you are located in the Eastern half of the state, you may call me for a free telephone consultation at 314-727-2822.
