Q: So I am being charged with a misdemeanor in Louisiana? Will I most likely get probation?
I worked at a retail store and I let my friends get free/discounted things which totaled up to just under 500 dollars.
A: If this is your first offense, then the answer is yes, however, there may be other options which would allow you to not have to plea guilty to a misdemeanor and possibly keep it off of yoour record---please contact and consult with a few criminal defense attorneys in your area to discuss the specifics of your case and your options---good luck.
