Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I recently got arrested on December 17th 2013 and got a notice to appear at court next month on the 17th and the cop put theft from merchant and also put that it was a misdemeanor. I also had my baby at the time. What will happen to me?

Call an attorney who has done these cases for years, and go over all the facts. The attorney will be able to give you some good advise and give you a better idea of how to proceed. Most criminal defense attorney's offer free consultations. I wish you well.....David

You will enter a plea of not guilty, an attorney will be provided if you cannot afford to retain an attorney, with advice of counsel you will decide whether or not to waive time, and a date will be set for future proceedings. If at all possible I suggest you follow Mr Wallin's advice as soon as possible.

This is a duplicate question - please see my answer to your other posting.

You need a good criminal defense attorney. I'd strongly suggest you find someone who focuses on criminal law and who routinely practices in the court where this case will be heard.
