Re: petty theft

See if you can get a letter from the DA that there will be no charges. If not, you might want to hire a lawyer to pursue this matter.

Re: petty theft

Your immediate problem is not being convicted of robbery, a felony which is punishable with state prison time in addition to the economic penalty of not being able to work. Get a good lawyer. If there are really no charges pending, ask the clerk of the court, or the public defender, for a letter.
