help needed

I am eligible to apply for a citizenship. 5 years back I was
convicted for shoplifting- Petty theft( only one mistake in my entire life) which was amisdemeanor charge. I was fined and payed that fine in a court. After that no records. Will be rejected in my citizenship application, because I had that misdemeanor charge in my record? Worst of all My husband did not know about it till today. If we apply for the citizenship together if I get rejected he will come to know about that(which I dont want to happen) I am holding off without telling him this reason. Any help here??????????
I was told that I cannot lie in the application about the misdemeanor
and if they come to know that they will reject it strait a way! If I mention that charges will I get rejected?
As I am planning to apply for citizenship next week, Can someone please help me with this? Should I apply thro an attorney? Also I dont have any paper work for the conviction. Do I need to send the paper along with the application? How I can I get those papers from the police department? If I have an attorney will they take care of getting the paper from the police? As I mentioned I am doing it without my husband's knowledge and paying attorney fee will be a challange If it is too expensive.
Thank you
