Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Re: petit larceny

If you can afford a private attorney,you will get more personal attention as well as perhaps a better result. Petit larceny is a misdemeanor which carries a possible jail term of up to 1 year in addition to a criminal recford. A competent criminal defense attorney should be able to help you definitely avoid jail and likely also a permanent criminal recprd. I handle matters such as yours on a regular basis and will be happy to have a free phone consultation. Please call my office @7188340087.

Re: petit larceny

Depending on your financial circumstances a judge may or may not appoint an attorney to represent you. If the judge refuses to do so he or she should give you time to retain an attorney. One of the benefits to retaining a private attorney is that they will contact the prosecutor ahead of time and try to resolve this case or at least let you know exactly what is going to happen in court before you get there. Petit larceny carries a penalty of up to one year incarceration, although for a first arrest you should be able to resolve this without jail time and hopefully without any sort of criminal record. Please feel free to contact my office if we may be of any assistance in this matter.
