Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

theft

Iwas accuse of stealing three CD that were in my hand,and in sight while I was still in the electronic area of store, the sales person came up and implied I was going to steal the items,I wasn't going to buy them and proceed to snatch them out of my hand,he pushed me and I hit him back, more than once. Security arrived, broke up the fight and took me into custody, the clerk isn't pressing charges,but tried to imply that I was trying to steal more than the items in my hand, he walked away and return with three other CD's that I hadn't even seen. Photos were taken of the 3 I had and the others were put back as far as I know. I was taken to jail and paid $200 to be released. I have a court date January 8,2007. Do I need an attorney? I was not stealing, only doing my Christmas shoppiing.

Re: theft

It is clear you will need an attorney. It seems the circumstances may favor you if presented properly. In some cases, your attorney may be able to use your facts to attempt to keep this offense from posting to your criminal record. The flat fee for services is $1500 and can be paid in any manner, including credit card. Contact as soon as possible if you would like to discuss this further.
