I was just caught for the shoplifting of items total $11. The LP team said they'd submit an online police report. I have no priors nor warrants, and this is in Washington state. I'm so lost right now. What should I do/expect in the coming month?

Depending on the quality of an attorney.. anywhere from $125/hr on the really low side to the average being $200-$250/hr and some may want a retainer of a couple thousand to get started. If you are in a big city: Chicago, Miami, New York, LA then expect prices of $250 on the low side with the average being $300-$450.

Your price will usually skew higher if the defense attorney used to be a DA in the same district court.
