Re: Shoplifting clothes in Store Name store, Maryland, help plea Ok I asked because a theft conviction could effect her immigration status if not a pernament resident. She is facing criminal charges and criminal record, so yes she should consult a Lawyer. When she does she should ask about...

Re: Shoplifting clothes in Store Name store, Maryland, help plea Before we get into the laws and what not I have a question. Is she here on a VISA (or similar) or is she a pernament legal resident? This is important as it will help us direct her to the right help

I understood and correcting posters will not get you the help you want. Since you are into reading reread my post (quote below) note the portion in bold

We are not that familar with laws outside of US. However I will suspect your second offense will likey result in vioation of probation and lost of diversion. You need to talk to a Lawyer and to do so very quickly as this can get ugly fast for you. I will further suggest you enroll in an Anti...

VA has some of the toughest shopliting laws in states. Jail is very real possibility. You need to to start calling Lawyers. Far as charge reduction the Attorney can tell you this.

If you gave us the penal code that woud help. NormanJr is form that area but if he doesnt stop by we will need penal code

Start calling Lawyers ask them about Diversion as plea option

The court can still view this even though you had ACD or similar. Expect Judge to be harsh you need an Attorney.

Since you have priors I would suspect the Judge not to go lightly on you. You need to start calling Lawyers many offer free consultations get as many as possible. I realize you gave the coutny but what state was this in?

Depending on how law reads you could get a jail time. Listen over and over you have chose not to listen to people trying to help you. If you are dead set on walking in and taking your chances by pleading guilty then you don't need us. I hope this works out in your favor but I think I am done here

Its possible but if you do not already have a Lawyer to arrange your plea deal its unlikely the PD will have the time to do right then

Your confusing dimissed with erased. There will be a record of your past theft and fact you were given "a chance" with your sentence last time. This could anger Judge and result in stiffer sentence. You really need to consult an Attorney

Like with any Lawyer some are good some are not. Its not given that they are poor Lawyers because they are Public Defenders. You seen Hell bent to just walk in and plead guilty. You have been told that is not wise. If your going to do that then coming here was waste of time. We cannot tell you...

That is pretty much a given yes

Random people on Xbox! :o If you ask me (you have) you plead not guilty either hire a Lawyer or ask for Public defender then discuss options like Diversion. Walking in and pleading guilty is roll of dice and the odds are not in your favor!

You have been given good advice to protect yourself if you choose to to listen we cannot help.

Afraid that is a bit out of our area of expertise. Being arrested does not mean your guilty of a crime so I cannot say it would harm your chances at being a Doctor. In general background checks cover convictions not arrests.

On your first court date not much. Judge will enter not guilty plea on your behalf That will depend on PD and how much time he has Call court and ask Yes but you will need to wait years and its costly

From what I have seen no thats not true.

Fines are paid in any way acceptable to court. This can also be via payment plan in some cases
