Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

Re: stupid drunk judgement

Even though the value of the item was only 89 cents you are potentially looking at maximum penalties of $1,000.00 fine, 6 months in jail, and a mandatory 10 days community service. However, these are the maximum penalties, and likely not what you would actually receive if convicted. Nevertheless, if you are convicted then you will definitely have to pay fines and costs far in excess of the value of the item taken, and you will have to perform 10 days community service. I would certainly recommend that you hire an attorney for this case, even though we are talking about an item valued at less than one dollar. 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.

Re: stupid drunk judgement

Any kind of theft conviction will stop you from working for a bank, computer company, insurance company, as a home health aide and bar you from many responsiblel jobs. If you never intend to get a job theft theft of such an inexpensive item is not important because you will not go to jail, in all probability.

Re: stupid drunk judgement

Thats pretty crazy. However, whether you shoplift something that costs one penny or $199.99, it is the exact same offense and the exact same penalty. So, a theft conviction is a theft conviction and it is criminal in nature. Thus, I suggest you get an attorney to really fight this ridculous charge so it goes away. It would probably only take one motion to get rid of the case. My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 and we can discuss your case.

Good luck!
