Winona, TX Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

Call two or three local lawyers to get price quotes. But frankly, because she is so young, she probably qualifies for a court appointed lawyer if she is in school or working a low wage job.' Bring proof of her income, enrollment in school, etc., to her first court appearance. It is not about your finances but hers as she is an adult for criminal law purposes.

Sounds like you have a good case, but the DA will never listen to you. The DA will listen to your attorney. So hire a good, trustworthy attorney to fight for you and hopefully it gets dismissed.

You won't be able to get that case expunged, since it was only dismissed after successful completion of deferred probation. What you need to be looking in to is whether you can get the offense sealed. The vehicle to accomplish that is called a Petition for Non-Disclosure. You'll want to speak to an attorney before proceeding, in my opinion. First, you need to discuss with the attorney who it is you are trying to prevent from seeing the arrest records, and whether a sealing order will accomplish that goal. Second, you need to find out whether your specific offense is subject to a limitations period or whether eligible, at all.
