Is there some way my daughter can have her criminal charges expunged after completing sentencing?
Full Question:
My 18 year old daughter was arrested for shop lifting. The value of the shirts was $60.00. She received a Class B Misdemeanor and will go to court May 15. I have heard that if she pays the fine the charge will stay on her record if she takes probation it would come off her record at the end of probation, is this correct? This is her first offense and has not been in any other trouble could I possibly get this reduced with just fines and nothing on her record? Can I do this myself with out legal aid?

Answer:
If you desire to handle the matter without an attorney, you should probably go see the prosecutor to discuss the matter and your options. There are many potential options for resolution of the matter, including probation, remanding to file since it is the first offense, dismissal, payment of the fine, etc.
