I've been calling the court for a few days now but keep missing them because I take classes all morning and all day (I've been checking the court system online but my name has yet to pop up). I did call the retailer's LP office, however, since I signed a few papers and didn't read through them...

Yes, I was under the impression that summons are delivered to you? Correct me if I'm wrong. I cannot think of any other reason why the court would call me that isn't related to this incident. Are there any plausible reasons why they would? And do I need representation to request an acd/diversion...

What's a likely outcome to having a lawyer? I can't afford one as I'm going thru school right now, would a public defender be an option?

Is it likely that the LP office would file charges against me? They said it would remain internal but that could change. Also, how long do these civil demands take to be sent?

Would it be unwise to contact the LP office and inquire as to what they're planning on doing? I would just feel better knowing, or would you advise against that and just wait?

Yes, I'd like to end it ASAP and as easily as possible so fined, I would definitely pay it.

I figured I will mostly likely receive some sort of fine. Is it likely they'd take it farther than that/involve the police in the future? Would this, at this point, be put on a permanent record or affect any current/future employment? I go to university and receive financial aid so I was...
