Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

Here is some advice:

(1) Just because you were not arrested does not mean you cannot be charged for a crime such as "theft by taking". Without knowing more, I speculate that this court date is to inform you of such a charge.

(2) You should absolutely go to court as specified in the summons.

(3) You should seek counsel from an attorney immediately.

DISCLAIMER: Although I am an attorney, absent a signed retention and engagement letter, I am not your attorney. There are no exceptions to this rule. Moreover, you shall not rely on the information I am providing you, as it is only for your general knowledge and educational purposes. Consider it a good first step in your knowledge acquisition, but not legal advice. Indeed, my analysis is based on the extremely limited facts you have given me, and new facts could substantially alter any answer I give.

Yasha is correct. I ditto the DISCLAIMER as well. Seek legal counsel IMMEDIATELY and do not say anything about the charges to anyone other than your attorney--I suggest you hire an attorney BEFORE you go to Court (the "letter" you received was probably a Notice of Arraignment) .

I work throughout GA but mostly ONLY in the Gwinnett, Fulton, Dekalb, Hall and Dawson County areas; if you need my services, call me.
