Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

Retail Fraud in Michigan is a serious crime punishable by jail and/or fines. You should hire the best attorney you can afford or if you can not afford one, you may be eligible for a court appointed attorney (which doesn't mean that they're absolutely free and you may be required to pay the court for court appointed attorney fees in the end). There are some diversion programs available and a good criminal defense attorney in MI can help you reach a resolution prior to trial to where the conviction does not go on your criminal record or dismissal of the charges.
