Questions about petit larceny charge in new york.?

When you go for your first appearance speak with the states attorney and try to reach a plea agreement for a reduction in the charge and you will get a fine and community service as well as have to pay Wal Mart X number of dollars, with the fine restitution and court fees you will end up paying probably 2,000 dollars or more. By negotiating with the prosecutor you can probably reach an agreement where you will not have a criminal record but if you have the money for a lawyer they could help to get it lowered.}{
