You are facing a mandatory 10 day jail sentence upon conviction and could receive and even longer sentence in the judge's discretion. You must hire an attorney immediately.

Call me if you like.

For a third conviction for shoplifting there is mandatory jail time. My advice at this point is to definitely consult with a lawyer, and probably retain a lawyer to defend you. If you don't you are more than likely going to be convicted and sent to jail. I am an attorney who has handled many cases similar to yours in various courts throughout New Jersey in the past. I would like to discuss your case with you in more detail. Please contact me at your convenience. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-

Yes, get an attorney ASAP. Due to the dollar amount, you are actually facing a 4th degree felony charge and with your record, avoiding jail may not be easy at all. You have several serious problems that you need to take care of.

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