How can I erase a theft background?

Answered by attorney Joseph Briscoe Dane (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Joe Dane
Unless this happened when you were under 18, it will always exist at some level. The best you can do at this point after a conviction is to seek a dismissal. It's commonly called an expungement, but it doesn't truly 'expunge' anything. It is a way for you to get a notation that your case was dismissed on your record so it doesn't show as a conviction any longer. Assuming you have successfully completed probation on your case, you should be eligible. If granted, it will allow you to tell most private employers that you have not been convicted of a crime. There are a few exceptions where it still must be disclosed but for most jobs, you can check the "no" box for any prior convictions. It's not horribly complex, but to make sure it's done right, see a local criminal defense attorney to get it done.

What happens if you are arrested for shoplifting while already being on probation for misdemeanor brandishing a weapon?

They willl probably file a probation violat ion and a new case. The results will depend on the attitude of the DA and Judge and what your attorney can convi nce them to do.

What punishment will I get for a BAC of .15?

Eric M. Mark
Answered by attorney Eric M. Mark
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Eric M. Mark
The funny thing, or not so funny thing, is that every client thinks they passed the field sobriety tests. The punishments for a first-time DUI with a .15 BAC include a license suspension from 7 months to 1 year, a fine, placement of an ignition interlock device on your car, referral to the intoxicated driver resource center, community service and other monetary penalties. Jail time is an option, though rarely imposed on a first offense. Without knowing any of the facts of the case, you may have defenses available to you based on the police conduct or improper blood/breath testing, but you will need to retain an attorney to know that.
