Petty Larceny

It was father's day. My 5 yr old daughter wanted to buy me a pair of socks. We went to the mall. I chose my socks. I saw some shoes that I liked. I decided to try them and used the socks I chose to try the shoes with. I bought a couple fo pairs of shoes for myself. I paid for the shoes. I told them to pack my sandals and walked out wearing one of the new pair of shoes. I totally forgot about the socks and so did my wife and daughter.

I was caught at the exit and charged with petty larceny. I tried to explain but the woman there did not want to listen.

I have been asked to go to court next month. I thought all it was is to go to court and explain myself and the judge would understand. But, now I get these mail everyday in my mailbox from attorneys wanting to represent me. This is crazy! The socks was just a slip of the mind. If I had removed the new shoes I would have remembered the socks. Wouldn't a judge understand that? Do I need an attorney?

The woman who was working there told me that I've tried to steal the earring that was 4 dollars; therefore, she had to call the cop. I'm charged with "petty larceny." And, don't know what to do. I really want to hear about what happened after you went to the court.
Please let me know.
Sincerely,
