Could she be assigned for rehab and given probation for neglect, though her child was taken from her?

Answered by attorney Lawrence Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
Each case addressed separately. For her the criminal case is more important, because it could land her in jail. For the child, the DFACS case may be more important, because it determines where he/she will live.

Can we expunge a criminal background without a fee?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
There are a few things to discuss. First, when she was in her teens, was she convicted as an adult or adjudicated as a juvenile? If she was adjudicated as a juvenile, that would not be part of her public record. She could apply for an expungement when she turns 24. If she was convicted as an adult, then as long as five years have passed and there is only one conviction of any kind on her record that is not a potential life offense or a CSC charge in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd degree, then she can apply to have it expunged. I'm not sure what you mean by getting it done "without a fee." Lawyers are going to charge for their services unless they agree to do it pro bono. Even if that is the case or you decide to do it yourself (which you can), there are still some costs and fees that have to be paid even if they are nominal. You have to get a copy of your record from the State police, fingerprinted at your local sheriff's office, obtain a copy of your criminal judgment, and application fees, etc. If you do it yourself, you are looking at maybe $200-300 or so. If you hire a lawyer, expect anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000.

What should we do if my daughter was caught shoplifting?

Criminal Law lawyer at Craig W. Elhart, PC
Your daughter should be represented by a competent attorney to assist with her defense. If you are going to retain an attorney, you should do so at once. If you will be asking for court appointed counsel, that will happen at her arraignment. Once you have an attorney, he/she will be able to advise you of the possible options she will have.
