I got sentenced but I never got copies of the discovery. How can I obtain them?

Mark A. Broughton
Answered by attorney Mark A. Broughton (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Mark A. Broughton, PC
That's quite a few questions. You can get your discovery from your attorney. Ask him for it. While you're at it, ask for a copy of the minute order, and/or probation report from your file. It is a little too early to seek to "expunge" your record from what I read here, and with this type of charge it is a little more complicated. The exact charge you were convicted of is very, very important under your facts. You need to know the specific code section because there is a major difference in the consequences depending on the charge. Again, ask your lawyer, and keep all your documents for future reference.

If I am unemployed and violated my probation for petty theft, is it better to go with a public defender or hire a private attorney?

Like everything else in life, there are good and bad public defenders, just as there are good and bad private attorneys. The main difference is that a public defender usually has hundreds of cases to handle and may not have the time to spend with you, whereas a private attorney can give you better personal service then a public defender can. If you are unable to afford a private attorney, you may have no choice but to go with the public defender.

You need to sue the couple that sold your son the truck. Make sure he has proof of the sale, such as cancelled checks made payable to the couple, bill of sale, etc.
