What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
I have my court date set for Oct. 7th for petit larceny from a retail store that took place on Sept. 5th.
I received a letter in the mail today from the retail stores Attorney requesting a $500 restitution payment. My husband seems to think I have to wait until after my court date to pay anything and that I should call another attorney to make sure I need to pay this now.
Is this normal to get the restitution request before the court date? I think it is, but my husband said check into it. I know I will have the court fees on top of this, but this is from the store itself. Any insight is appreciated.
