Hello,
I have been charged with a misdeamanor for shoplifting at JC Penny Stores in Troy. I had been arrested and released on bond for $ 250. I had shoplifted for some clothes and cologne worth 200 dollars. I have a hearing for my case on the 22nd of March. This is my first criminal offense, although I have a few traffic ticket violations which i have paid up for.
Please let me know what the consequences of this. Will I get deported ? I am on an H1 -B visa. Should i plead guilty? Should I get an attorney to represnt me in court ?
