    Hi

    I have got myself into a bit of trouble.I ran into some financial trouble over the last 6 months.Out of sheer desperation I pretty much stole stock from work to sell to pay mortgage and other bills.Im not proud of it and am so ashamed. Anyway the short story is i got caught and i owned up.I paid back a large amount of what i took and admitted to other incidents. Now the company is carrying out an internal investigation on everything i have ever done while employed with them. i found out today that they are getting the police involved. I am really scared that i am going to be made a scapegoat for stock discrepencies that have nothing to do with me.

    I guess my question is, Should i get myself a solicitor? Will this just make things worse?I had presumed that because the company is well known they would not want this kind of publicity and it could all be sorted out internally.

    I know i am not going to get much sympathy here,all I can say is my house and family was on the line and out of sheer desperation i did something that i will have to live with for the rest of my life

    I think yes.

    Possibly, but you really do need one to mitigate against possibly serious charges.
