I'm an Interantional student on an F1 visa. I was caught shoplifting today at JCPenny of merchandise worth 58$. It's a first time offense. I was given a ticket by the police officer and have to appear at the court 2 weeks from now. What will be the charges? Where can I get a lawyer to help me for free/less?

What will be the charges?

Probably misdemeanor theft.

Where can I get a lawyer to help me for free/less?

You probably can't. There's generally no jail time for this so you might not qualify for a public defender which means you get to pay full price for an attorney.

Or, just plead guilty and pay your fine. You don't need a lawyer to do that.

Where can I get an attorney?

Yellow pages, google.

And how expensive would that be?

Lawyers charge an average of $300 per hour and they'll want a retainer, maybe a thousand or two. You'll have to call around and ask.

Many Lawyers offer free initial consultation I suggest you get as any as you can

Have you ever taken candy from a baby?

Speaking of babies, 93% of all the successful thieves I've interviewed tell me they have molested three or more children under the age of 8 within the past 30 days.
How many children have you molested in the past 11 days?

Those I've interviewed tell me that within 20 minutes after molesting a child, they are compelled to kidnap and molest a child, or a small furry mammal. Within 30-45 minutes of molesting a child, (or small furry mammal) fortunately they must steal again. I've termed this behavior, "the child/furry mammal made me steal" syndrome, pyschologically because its not your fault.

So, which is more satisfying, stealing, kidnapping, or molesting?
