    Does anyone here who was arrested for theft under 5000 was not convicted because of the help of a lawyer? Thanks.

    You're asking if it's possible to beat such a charge with the help of an attorney? It would depend on the circumstances.
    • Did they catch you red-handed?
    • Are there any questionable search-and-seizure issues?
