Hire an attorney to represent you since this is a crime of moral turpritude, and if it is not handled properly could be on your record for the rest of your life.
Re: First Offense Of theft
Hello there,
If this is for a theft under fifty dollars you should have received a citation telling you to appear before a Justice of the Peace or a municipal court.
Still, you should hire an attorney to take care of this so it doesn't appear on your record. An attorney should be able to be able to suspend your sentence of guilt so you will not have a conviction.

I agree with Mr. Platten and Mr. Armstrong, and want to add that if you are not a US citizen, even a deferred will affect your immigration status.
