Re: shollifting and second chances

There is no doubt that you should hire an attorney to represent you on the charge of shoplifting. The penalties are too serious and the consequences for you if you take a conviction are far too important for you to try and get through this on your own. Hire the best attorney you can afford and follow your attorney's advice. Good luck.
