I have started the process for a chapter 7 and just received an ordinance violation for retail theft. Will the bankruptcy attorney find this citation while preparing for the chapter 7?
Unless there are other lawsuits, most attorneys don't search for criminal cases in your history. Even if you have a criminal case, it doesn't affect your eligibility for bankruptcy.
Unlikely, so I suggest you provide your bankruptcy attorney with this information before filing so you do not subsequently get cited by the bankruptcy court for failing to list all of your debts.
