Re: felony theft

For a first offense with no prior record, you have an excellent chance at probation. However, there are also programs that you may be eligible for that, when completed, cause the charge to be dismissed and the arrest record sealed. This means for all prqactical purposes, you end up with no record. I have a large criminal practice. If you are intrested in my services, please feel free to call. I will be glad to give you a quote a firm price. Best Regards, Edward DiCato.
