Yes you may a defense to work with. Also, a successful negotiation with the store might be reached with the help of an attorney, which may ultimately result in the shoplifting charges being dropped.There are also other ways to avoid getting convicted and having a criminal record as a result of the shoplifting charge.

Yes you should get an attorney. There is a directive that a shoplifting can no longer be changed to a town ordinance which limits the prosecutor's discretion. A lawyer can legally fight the charges for you.
