Q: I have been charged for 2nd degree larceny by ex employer. First time offender in CT
I was fired in February and just got notified in June this was happening. Never been in trouble before. He claims I didn’t work the hours I did and the raise he gave me never happened. My raise went through payroll and he looks at the records all the time. All raises are verbal nothing in writing.
A: Sounds like this should me more of a civil case than a criminal case. I suggest that you speak with an experienced criminal defense lawyer who offers free consultations to get some advice specific to your case. You don't give enough details in your question here to provide a useful legal opinion and there is no real specific question posed. Without any doubt this is a serious charge and you should retain legal counsel to represent you. Best of luck with your case
