Re: felony

Your question is a bit odd because theft of less than $200.00 is not a crime or felony. It is a disorderly persons offense to be handled in municipal court.

Call me if you like.

Re: felony

I agree with Mr. Moore. Your question makes no sense. Either your attorney does not know what he or she is doing or you do not understand what is going on. Either way, I suggest you fix this situation ASAP.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.
