How and what kind of lawsuit can I file for being stabbed in a bar?

Answered by attorney Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
Assuming the person who stabbed you is being prosecuted, your medical expenses can be made part of the disposition of the case. Many localities have a victim witness asistance program in which the State pays your medical bills and then it is up to them to recoup the costs.

Should I plead not guilty for shoplifting offense if I was caught red-handed?

Answered by attorney Irwin G. Klein (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Hein, Waters and Klein
Yes, initially you should plead "NOT Guilty". If you plead guilty to the charge you will have a criminal conviction on your record for the rest of your life. Usually, especially for first time offenders, the DA (prosecutor) will offer the Defendant (you) the opportunity to plead guilty to a reduced charge which will not give you a criminal record. If you cannot afford a lawyer the court should appoint a lawyer to represent you, either Legal Aid or 18B. It depends where in NYS you are located and what court your case is in. Definitely speak to a criminal defense attorney about this case before you just plead guilty. Good luck!

What should I expect for a first offense of theft?

I suggest that you retain an attorney that can argue your case properly. Otherwise you are at the mercy of the prosecutor.
