Yes, you definitely need to hire an attorney. If you handle this yourself and wind up with a conviction, you will suffer various negative consequences for the rest of your life. An attorneywiull help you to avoid this. Good luck.

You should hire an attorney.

Depending on your prior criminal record I offer a package where I represent you on the theft charge and depending on the outcome, expunge it later.

Feel free to contact me for a consult.
