Theft Defense Attorney in Lawrenceville

Question: My daughter was one of three people charges for theft by taking in a case 3 years ago. They scrapped a rear end from a 1956 Chevrolet that belonged to a neighbor. Two of the three have had settlement to their cases. My daughter who is 24, has been to court three different times and was under the impression that the case was thrown out. She has never had any legal representation because two of the three charged were apparently assigned the same attorney. She was then assigned to another attorney and after never being able to contact him, she ended up going back for a Pre-Trial Intervention appointment at the court. Before she went, however, I got her to get a print out on her criminal background to see what showed up. On the background it showed that the charges were "misdemeanor" instead of felony charges and it showed the case was "dead docketed". They explained to her at the PTI that the misdemeanor and the dead docket were both misprints on her background check. They said that she needed legal representation and they therefore have contacted another attorney that we are waiting to hear back from. Oh, and the neighbor presented a price for the rear-end of $2600.00, which he supposedly got from a local junk yard and even the judge laughed at that price in court. My daughter needs help, what do we do???

Answer: I am not sure why there is confusion about what your daughter does now. She does what she should have done 3 years ago -- hire a criminal lawyer. That means SHE calls criminal lawyers and not wait on "them" (whoever that is) to call. The case is most likely still going on because she failed to do so. Criminal charges are something to take seriously. Contact today Theft Defense Attorney in Lawrenceville
