It appears you will be charged with petit larceny,this is a misdemeanor punishable with up to a year imprisonment or probation ,or a combination of the two. With a clean record and a competent attorney ,you may get a better "plea bargain".I handle matters such as yours on a daily basis, please contact my office @ 7188340087 for a free phone consultation.

You should not expect jail time, especially if it is your first arrest, but it would be highly recommended to have an experienced lawyer with you defending you and preserving your rights in court. It would also greatly increase the chance of lowering the charges or possible dismissal. We have substantial experience handling these types of cases and reasonable fees, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
