What is the name of your state? California
Hello, I live in Orange County, California. My minor was recently detained in a clothing store for shoplifting. The value of the articles he attempted to steal was around $150. I just received a letter from the law firm representing the clothing store and they are asking for monies in the amount of $375 as they say they are entitled to no less than $50 and no more than $500 under a state statute. Should I pay this or go to court? They have the articles of clothing, so I don't see where they have suffered "damages". Please advise.
