Should my son have his own attorney in a theft case?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jason Clay Overton (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Harris Firm, LLC
It would be to your son's best interest to have his own attorney. When it comes down to it, you're not really interested in the best result for the group as a whole. You're interested in the best result for your son. If one of the other defendants was more to blame than your son, for example, a lawyer representing everyone wouldn't necessarily make that argument while a lawyer representing only your son would do that.

What can be done if someone impersonated my son on a ticket?

Answered by attorney Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
I will assume that your son is also seeking answers to these questions, or that there are reasons he cannot. A letter and phone messages are not going to be sufficient to deal with his situation. At a minimum, he will have to hire a NJ lawyer to work up a motion which will require affidavits and documentary proof. As to whether the officer could get in trouble or what will happen to the impersonator, those are of no concern. The only concern is the potential consequences for your son.

What kind of sentence could he be looking at for stealing from a department store?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Joseph Briscoe Dane (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Joe Dane
Grand theft is anything over $950. He's well beyond that, so I assume he will (at least initially) face felony grand theft charges. Given his age, the fact that all the merchandise was returned and (I assume) no prior record, something should be able to be worked out on his behalf, but he is in up to his eyeballs. Any sentence will take into account the facts, his record and what his attorney can work out on his behalf. Will there be jail time? Possible. Community service instead of jail? Also possible. Just probation with no jail time? Again - anything's possible. Every case is unique and the only person to truly assess a possible sentence will be his attorney after a full review of the case. Look for a local criminal defense attorney that routinely practices in the court where his case will be heard.
