- Q. How can I improve chances of reduced charge for shoplifting $120-$150 in NY?
- A: If you cannot afford to hire an attorney, You should contact the legal aid society in Buffalo before turning yourself in or speaking with law enforcement and explain your situation and ask for pre arrest representation. They will be able to direct you to the best course of action.

- A: While the charge is a non criminal offense you still should not plead guilty to the charge. Requesting an acod is a sound strategy and you can hire an attorney to appear on your behalf or with you if that makes you more comfortable. A court will probably require a waiver and a reason if you do not wish to appear.
