How much would an attorney be for a shoplifting case?

Thomas J Tomko
Answered by attorney Thomas J Tomko (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Thomas J. Tomko, Attorney at Law
Shoplifting is called Retail Fraud. There are different degrees of Retail Fraud, with 3rd degree being the lowest. To participate in discovery, Pre-Trial and negotiate a plea and sentence, a fee in the range of $950 to $1500 is common. If charged with Retail Fraud 2nd or 1st, the fees increase. Should you have a trial or several adjournments not the fault of the attorney, then the fees can also increase. The advantage of retaining you own attorney is that you get to meet the attorney prior to court, understand the experience of the attorney, typically get more attention to questions and sometimes to the case, and you get to select the skill level of the attorney. Not so with Court Appointed, as you could get a very new/inexperienced attorney, who you did not choose, who may or may not spend much time consulting with you, (after all, they do not get paid for consulting), or get one who is not so familiar with your sort of case. The choice is yours. Remember, while you may get Court Appointed Counsel, it is not free. You are billed at a rate which is lower, but you are still billed.

What do I do if I was not given a warrant of arrest but was put to jail?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ernest Roy Krause (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Ernest Krause Attorney at Law
Were you charged with a crime? If you got a ticket it says what the crime it is and when/where to appear to contest it or the amount to pay (which payment might be an admission of guilt). Did you fail to appear in court for anything and a judge issued the warrant? Call the DA and get the name and address of the person who should provide the warrant. If he/she doesn't do it, send a letter with all the details to that person, certified, return receipt requested and a copy, certified, return receipt requested, to the DA. Go to the police department. If they don't help you, do the same procedure.

What can we do on a probation violation?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Irwin G. Klein (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Hein, Waters and Klein
A violation of probation (VOP) is like having a new criminal case. If found guilty of the VOP, either after a hearing or by plea, the judge can re-sentence the defendant on the original case. That re-sentence could be a jail sentence. It is recommended that the defendant be represented by a criminal lawyer for this proceeding.
