Shoplifting Attorney Lawrenceville

Question: I'm a 17 year old kid in the state of Georgia. I was arrested for shoplifting from Wal Mart for 40$ ( iPhone Case and a screen protector) . I was then taken to jail and spent the night in jail until bonded out. I have an attorney but haven't gotten a good chance to talk. Is there a chance I will be seeing jail time? This is my first offense for anything.

Answer: You are an adult at 17, which is why you went to adult jail. There is a possibility of you going to jail, but you will probably get probation. The issue of why you stole remains unresolved. good luck.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
