Petit theft

There are too many variables to tell you what to expect at your arraignment.  The state may make an offer.  However, since any petty theft conviction can have future negative ramifications (other than the "sentence"), I recommend you retain an attorney to represent you.  If you cannot afford to retain an attorney, you have the right to a court-appointed attorney.  You should ask the court to appoint one.  It's possible that the court could appoint one and you still could proceed to dispose of your case at arraignment.  But, hopefully, if that were to happen, the attorney would talkt with you first to make sure you understood the rights you would be giving up (including potential defenses) and potential future consequences of a petty theft conviction (even if adjudication is withheld).
