What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
my son and his friend were in walmart DUmb and dumber decided to lift a few trading cards of all things.. my son grabbed 22.00 worth and his friend grabbed 55.00. first off the LP put his hands on my son and told him he needed to come to the office with him. IS he allowed to do that? I thought walmart had a no hands policy? but anyway, he knows he is wrong and he has done some research online about ARD and Diversion programs. I suggested he hire an attorney even if it costs him over a grand better than ruining him finishing off his associate degree and the rest of his life career.
my concern is frm reading some posts is appears for first time retail theft that the most that happens is that they are fined and given community service and probation with store fines and court costs and fees, is this a correct assumption or am I reading wrong? Does anyonee have a clue as to how much attorneys charge for representing this type of case? a rough idea? thanks in advance I cant beleive I am forced to ask such a thing..
