What can I expect for a class b shoplifting?

Mark R. Thiessen
Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen
Criminal Law lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
By all means hire an attorney and do not plead guilty. Theft is a crime of moral turpitude and if on your record could prevent you from getting all types of jobs. This is a very serious case. Worst case scenario take deferred adjudication probation and get it sealed. But hopefully a good attorney can get it dismissed.

What does it mean to get a set aside?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Cynthia Henley
To be eligible for an expunction, the case must have been dismissed (with no guilty plea, no probation, no deferred) or you must have been found not guilty after a trial. If you received deferred adjudication probation and successfully completed it, you might be eligible to seal your record - it depends on the offense and if eligible, some offenses require a waiting period after the completion of the deferred. Also, it is not guaranteed - the judge in whose court the case was prosecuted makes the decision. If you received deferred, then the wording on the document that is signed by the judge at the completion of the deferred states that the case is "set aside." This is so misleading because people think that it means that the case is over without it being on their record - which is wrong. The case remains on your record indefinitely. There is no procedure called "set aside" in criminal cases.

What should I say in court?

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
You need to hire an attorney to represent you in that case. If you were cited for PI, but not booked into the jail, your attorney may be able to get the charges dismissed. You can also go to court and ask for deferred probation. But, I think, based on what you've written here, the proper disposition would be a dismissal. Once the charge is dismissed you would be eligible to have it expunged.
