Commonly Asked Criminal Law Questions From Users Near You

Does a department store have the right to notify my employer after shoplifting?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
The store would have no protected right to contact your employer, except to verify employment as you claimed. They should not disclose your criminal charges, if that is what you are asking. They would risk legal action if they did. More importantly, you face charges that could put in jail, and most police and prosecutors will happily tell you that 95% of people convict themselves by trying to be 'helpful and cooperative'. It is likely already too late to advise you to exercise 5th Amendment rights to be quiet and call a lawyer, as every cop show on TV correctly teaches. Unless you know how to effectively represent yourself in court, hire an attorney who does. If this is in California, and you are serious about hiring counsel, feel free to contact me. If your attorney can negotiate a civil compromise agreement before the store actually files criminal charges, you will be much better off than having to pay to defend such charges.

Early termination of DUI probation

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dennis Julian Roberts (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Dennis Roberts A Professional Corporation
It is up to your probation officer to recommend it. If he does you will not need a lawyer. You will need to come up with a pretty good reason. If you tell him you are moving to another county or state they will just transfer your probation. If you are applying for a new job and they will not hire you if you are on probation, might be something the P.O. would understand.

Is a Minor Possession of Marijuana while driving a misdemeanor or infraction?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
There is nothing to clarify. You already looked at the citation and saw how it was charged. You?ll get to argue about it in court and defend on whatever basis exists. If the DA can?t show proper basis for misdemeanor charging, it will get reduced to infraction or dismissed. EVERY arrest, charge filed, and conviction goes on your record, and is there forever. The first two already occurred. Your goal is to keep from having a conviction as well.
