Caught stealing age 16

Question: I’m 16 and was caught stealing in Los Angeles, CA.  I’m a first time offender and don’t know what to do in court. I was charged with a misdemeanor, what should I do?  I would like to have an attorney if I can so I don’t have to go through this alone.  Plus my friend used you before and you were able to get his case dismissed and I am hoping that you can do that with my case

Answer:  If you are 16, then this matter will be handled in juvenile court.  I would recommend that you consult with and hire a criminal defense attorney about you case in more detail as there are some variables when defending this case.  Not only can a criminal defense attorney guide you through the process, but they also may be able to mitigate consequences in the matter at hand.
