My 15 year old received a class C citation for shoplifting in TX, Can we fight it?

A person is not guilty of theft unless they participated in the taking in some manner. One can participate without actively taking an item by serving as the lookout, which is most often how retailers and prosecutors get the extra people in the group who did not actually take items. Even if she knew that her friend had taken an item and she walked out the store with the friend, but she did not help in any way whatsoever, then she is not guilty. If the retailer was a large retailer, then there will be videos - although most of them do not show a lot (and are kind of hard to understand because they are jerky.) If you hire a lawyer, then the lawyer should be able to get the video. Be aware, however, that this would not be the norm for a Class C offense and you can expect to pay more for a lawyer who does more work on a case. Theft is a crime of moral turpitude - an indicator that someone is not trustworthy. It is important that your young daughter not get a final conviction for theft on her record or it may haunt her for the remainder of her life. Even if she is guilty, there are ways to dispose of a case that will help protect her record. An attorney can help with this.

Can a law firm have me arrested in my job without sending me documentation first?

Report this alleged law firm and the person to your attorney. If this is a collection matter, the firm is violating the FDCPA and probably the Bankruptcy Code. If it is a criminal matter, only the prosecutor can authorized the police to arrest you. Finally, report the law firm to the state Bar Association. This sounds like unethical behavior.

How can I reduce my son's probabtion cost and time?

Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
The best aproach is for him to discuss the problem with his probation officer to see what his/her recommendation is. It seems unusual that he is on probation and not parole. The answer is different if he is on parole. After the meeting with probation, it would be best if he employs a criminal lawyer to approach the court probation officer, who will be a different person from the field probation officer, and discuss the modification of terms of probation. It is often possible to reduce the payments, possibly getting an early discharge from probation, arranging mail in reporting or no reporting or other changes. Without knowing what county you are in it is not possible to make specific recommendations. A local criminal attorney should be able to let you know what is possible with the judge who has control of the case.
