Get a public defender man. They only charge like 2 or 3 hundred with court costs. You should be let off with a warning or some shit like that. Don't worry about it bro. I got court in a a few weeks for four felonies - I have a total of seven felony charges but the first three got dropped two years ago first time I ever went to court. You should be good man, I will get my dudes to look into what you can do to postpone it.

My court fees with public defender where like 200 but yours maybe a bit higher since you are dealing with a company - I was just dealing with the law, also - it will only go on your record I believe if the charges stick.

I have petty theft on my record.  Its not that big of a deal.  If it is your first offense, clean record, the judge may possibly drop the charges.  I wouldn't pay $1200 for a lawyer for it.  Mine was when I was a juvenile, so its not really a big deal, and I can get it sealed if I just go through the necessary steps.  Every job I have had for the past several years have done background checks on me, and this doesn't seem to matter.  One company cared, but I just explained it to them and they hired me.

Just tell the judge that is was only $12 worth of stuff, and for the most part you are a good person and this being on your record is really bad.  Probably bring in some proof of what you are doing with your life (school, job, volunteering, etc.)

You really should learn how to handle this situation better though.  Its always best to cry and then snitch on your girlfriend and let her take the fall.

ROFL!!!!!! Man, I am paying like $1,000 just for a fucking retainer fee. It's ridiculous. However, I really need to get off my case. Lol.
