Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
Hello,
I made an awful mistake and shoplifted 37.00 worth of groceries from a Publix store 3 days ago. I am married and have 3 children. I am so scared of going to jail this is my first offense and the stress is making me physical sick. I can not afford a lawyer but yet my combined income is too much for a public defendent. i am desperate for some advice and would be deeply grateful for any advice.
thank you

Quit worrying. I this is your first offense, you probably won't have any problem. Hire a good attorney. In most instances of this sort, the case is either sent to pre-trial diversion or you are placed on probation. Your attorney can explain it all to you.
