Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Misdemeanor

[Decaturchots]

I believe I have a misdemeanor. I was at th emall with a friend...She got caught shoplifting but because I was with her...I got locked up as well. I went to two of the court cases. The last court case they asked me if I was gonig to get a lawyer. Which I did not do. I looked up on the pc today and found out that I had a court case...but I wasnt sent any paperwork. It says that I have a warrant and bond for $750. Besides the obvious of turning myself in...what should I do?

Q: Besides the obvious of turning myself in...what should I do?

A: After you surrender and bail out, you need to hire a lawyer.

Alright. So I need a lawyer is it to late to get a public defender...and what am I looking at....Probation...what?

A public defender is an expert in criminal law. When you go for your arraignment, ask for a public defender if you cannot afford a private lawyer.

(I am not a public defender.)

I have no idea what statute you are charged under so I cannot give you a range of punishment.
