Hello I am a 25 year old male who has never had even a traffic ticket. Now I'm facing grand larceny charges which is a class d felony. I moved to ny state about 3 years ago and was fired from my place of employment 2 years ago. I filed a unemployment claim and had to sit down with a career counselor that is employed by the state dept. of labor. I got a job interview and was told that the position was part time and wouldn't usually have that many hours. I relayed this to the counselor. He than told me to still claim 0 to everything because it wasnt over 32 hours. So I did and recieved benefits. I than got a call from a police officer in july of 2013 and was told to turn myself in. I did the next morning as soon as I left work. Was arrained in city court and assigned a public defender. I had since found mail from april of 2013 from the department of labor stating that I owe $2407. Although the paperwork I recieved in july states that I owe $5510.55. I have shown my attorney all of this paperwork and he agreed that there is a discrepancie. He than sat me down with the DA and showed him this paperwork. I was told 2 weeks later that the inditment was that friday dec 20, 2013. I have not heard anything since then. PLEASE HELP!! I HAVE A FAMILY AND AM SCARED OF THE THE EFFECTS THAT A FELONY CONVICTION WOULD HAVE ON MY AND MY FAMILIES FUTURES!! What do I do now?
