Re: Shoplifting Expunge possible? 1st offense
Expungement may be possible once ALL terms of probation are successfully finished. It may also be possible to seek early termination of probation after at least one year of the term is completed. Once a year is passed, have her contat me.
Re: Shoplifting Expunge possible? 1st offense
A theft conviction will ordinarily prevent a person from finding work forever. Too bad the only legal advice she got was from the public defender.

After her probation is complete it may be expunged. Call me directly at 16192223504.
