What is the penalty for shoplifting from a retail store?

Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
The maximum penalty is a year in the county jail. When you do things like this there are many ramifications. Get a private attorney, that will help immensely.

In what way can I get my record expunged?

Criminal Law lawyer at Dennis Roberts A Professional Corporation
Google CA Penal COde 1203.4 which lays out expungement. Most court clerks have a form for this. Pretty simple. Check to see if it was a "wobbler" (a crime that could be charged either as a misdemeanor or felony as if it was and you were convicted of a felony you can also use P. C. 17(b) to first get it reduced to a misdemeanor.

What are the chances that I will serve the 90-day sentence?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Eric J Trabin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Trabin Law Firm, P.L.
Pretty slim. First your new law offense was dropped. Why would you see this judge, or any judge for that matter, if the case was dropped? If the charges are dropped then you have nothing to do. The judge can't sentence you on something that was dropped, and even if it wasn't dropped, you are still presumed innocent and the judge can't sentence you unless you plead guilty/no contest or are found guilty in a trial. Second, you're not on probation in you disorderly conduct case because that is a second degree misdemeanor with a maximum punishment of 60 days in jail or 6 months probation, so the judge has no authority to sentence you in that case either.
