Re: Larceny - 6th degree
I would not contact anyone except an attorney. Depending on your income, you may qualify for a public defender. You also have the option of hiring a private attorney. You also need to provide more facts in order for me to give a proper legal opinion. If you want further information and pricing, you can email me at [email protected].
