My 17 year old dgt was caught shoplifting with her (2) 15 year old friends at walmart 96 dollars worth of merchandise. She was advised to plead not guilty. Does she need a lawyer being 17 years old and a 1st offense? i do not want to pay for a lawyer if her outcome is going to be the same regardless.
Answer
It would be helpful to know where n Pennsylvania you are located. It makes a difference.
The question is should you get a lawyer:
I'll assume that this indeed her first offense that she has no experience dealing the police or the DA. I can tell you it's not their first rodeo. .
But will having a lawyer do any good. Depends Has you daughter made any statements to the police? Is she being charged as an adult? What about the 15 year olds?
s there a possibility of ARD?
I think you should at least call a few lawyers.
