My husband did not know that I got arrested at the Short Hills Mall. I called the law firm that did our house closing, Park, Weinstein & Caporrino in Millburn, and spoke to the criminal lawyer, Howard Weinstein. I was so scared I was crying in his office. He calmly explained that I was not going to go to jail, but I had to worry about having a record. He was able to get the DA to lower the charge so that it was non criminal. In 18 more months, I can have the whole mess expunged from my record. The lawyer was so nice and patient with me. I cant give him a higher recommendation.
