Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

3rd Degree Retail Fraud

Last month i was caught shoplifting $28 worth of stuff by LP, the police were called and they told me a warrant will be issued. The warrant came the other day so i am going to turn myself in tomorrow. I just need to know what to expect, how much money to take with me, will i go to jail, do i need a lawyer, and most importantly will this stay on my record, can i get it removed somehow? Please help-thanks

It is very important to obtain your counsel before saying ANYTHING to the police! You can usually avoid ending up with a criminal record if this is a first offense. If you turn yourself in, you should be able to obtain a personal bond. Contact me ASAP at www.kliszlaw.com to discuss all the details. Tim Klisz
