And trying to obtain an expungement after a plea of guilty resulting in permanent criminal conviction is very difficult and expensive.  So you need make keeping a shoplifting conviction off your criminal record priority!

 

I have been charged with Theft and I want to keep it off my Record.

What Should I do?

 

First, do not even think about going to court alone!  And do not even think about pleading guilty, even if you are guilty there are ways to keep this offense off your criminal record.  Remember, talking to the prosecutor and trying to explain away the crime will do you no good.  Anything you say in court will be used against you.  Trying to explain to the judge what you did is useless.  The judge cannot help you; he cannot dismiss your case and cannot give you advice.  The judge is only interested in two things: plead guilty or not guilty.  Also, if you go to court, the Clerk will announce your name and your crime in open court-how embarrassing!

The Consequences

 

Having any type of permanent theft conviction on your record has major negative consequences.  Employers, landlords, credit bureaus, landlords, colleges, professional schools do background checks and they will find your conviction.  No matter how minor the offense you will never be able to explain it away. Imagine you go to court alone, and plead guilty and avoid jail time.  Think you did a good job representing yourself?  Fast-forward five years and you are interviewing for your dream job and your potential employer asks you about your shoplifting convictions. What are you going say…it was just ten dollars?  End of interview, no job and guess what? This will happen to you at every job interview. No matter what you say, the employer will not believe you and will not trust you!

 

The key is to keep it off your record from the outset!

 

Theft convictions can and do ruin lives. All it takes is to make a bad decision one time and the consequences can stick for a lifetime.
