Additional Information:
Our 19 year old daughter was caught shoplifting a few weeks ago at a local drug store in Auburn. I was hoping the whole thing would go away as it was a $10 item, but we got a summons to appear for a hearing. Any recommendations on how to handle this? She has never been in any legal trouble before and I’d hate this to affect her for the rest of her life.
ATTORNEY ANSWER:
Hire a lawyer to handle it. It sounds like a situation where the matter can be dismissed for court costs.
