What do I do about my petty theft charges?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jared Christian Winter (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Jared C. Winter
Unfortunately, there is not a magic formula I can share to make this go away. It depends on many factors mainly who your lawyer is, who the DA is, and who the judge is. If you are not able to hire a private attorney, you should ask that the public defender be appointed at your first court date. But I can tell you, based on my experience in a number of different courts, you are in pretty good shape (relative to others charged with petty theft). A first time offender, that is fairly young (I'm assuming you are in your twenties because of nursing school), with good grades, has a good chance of receiving a generous offer from the DA to settle the case.

How can I revoke a stay-away order?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Gabriel Eric Dorman (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Gabriel Dorman
Unfortunately, it is really difficult to answer your question without more detail. There are a number of different types of stay-away orders and/or restraining orders and what can be done about them depends on what type has been ordered and what side of the order you are on. For example, stay away orders are issued as a matter of routine in domestic violence criminal cases in order to protect the victim. However, if you are the victim, there is a way to have the order modified from a no contact order to a peaceful contact order. On the other hand, if you are the person that is being ordered to stay away or restrained, your options are dependent upon what has transpired thus far. Your best bet is to immediately contact an experienced lawyer to properly evaluate your case. Good luck.
