Yes, you or your attorney can go to court early and request the case be advanced to that day and the arraignment done. Understand that the arraignment is where you plead guilty or not guilty. Guilty gets you immediately sentenced. Not guilty gets you another court date set for PreTrial Conference hearing with the DA for plea bargaining. If no deal is made, then a trial date will be set.
If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate. First offense shoplifting can sometimes be resolved without an actual conviction on your record if handled right.
Also, on misdemeanors and infractions, your attorney can appear in court without the defendant being present, so your time pressure would be gone..
If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if the charges are in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I?ll be happy to help fight the criminal charges and get the best outcome possible, using whatever defenses there may be. .
