Do I need an attorney for a theft charge?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Joseph Briscoe Dane (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Joe Dane
Although theft of under $50 can be an infraction, typically the DA will charge the misdemeanor petty theft. If so, you're looking at a theft offense that carries potential jail time, probation, fines and will stay on your criminal record indefinitely if you're convicted. You want to try and avoid a conviction if at all possible. That's where an attorney comes into play. Don't be shortsighted. You could be making decisions that can be very difficult, if not impossible, to undo and can have tremendous impact on your life.

Do you think I have a good chance to get my case dismissed?

Answered by attorney Marco Caviglia (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Marco Caviglia, Esq.
Assuming it was not in the context of employer-employee theft, as a first time offender, there is a good chance you can have your attorney obtain an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal, which will result in a sealed court record.

What should I expect if this is my first time going to court?

Thomas J Tomko
Answered by attorney Thomas J Tomko (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Thomas J. Tomko, Attorney at Law
You will be approached by the prosecutor and asked to plead guilty or to set the matter for trial. Anything you say will be used against you at a trial. In some courts, you will be offered a plea. You will be asked whether you are hiring an attorney or whether you need an appointed attorney. If you plead guilty, you will have a criminal record unless there is some other agreement. You will be on probation and you will have to pay fines and costs. Alternatively, you could hire an attorney to take care of this. In many cases, the attorney can arrange an agreement which may keep the matter off your record through various statutes which may apply in your case. You will have to pay your attorney, however, it may be worth it when you are looking for a job and don't want a conviction on your record, or when applying for a license or applying for financial aid for college. It is your choice whether or not you retain an attorney. I hope that this was helpful.
