How can I obtain a free copy of my criminal background?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
The best way is to obtain a copy of your record from either IChat or the Michigan State Police. Both are nominal fees maybe around $10 or so. If you completed a diversion program, it shouldn't appear on your public record. As for the job applications, it depends on how it is worded. Usually they only ask if you have been convicted of a felony.

Does he need to hire a public defender beforehand or will one be provided to him at the day of his court appearance?

Answered by attorney Lawrence Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
First you cannot hire a public defender. Either the court will provide one, or you will be forced to retain your own attorney. Second, you should at least consult with an attorney before the court date.

What can I do to get out of a misdemeanor larceny charge?

Answered by attorney Jared Christian Winter (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Jared C. Winter
Sounds like funds are going to be tight, so hiring a private attorney probably isn't an option. If I'm right, go to your court date and ask the judge to appoint the public defender. Do not try to represent yourself. There may be a way to beat your case, but you need an attorney.
