Shoplifting Defense Attorney in Duluth

Question: When i was 17 i got caught stealing at wal-mart by the security guard. they took me to the back, got my id & fingerprint for the store records. i got a civil thingy in the mail that i had to pay. i never got a court date or anything like that. i wanted to know if this would show up on my background check because i am trying to get into the nursing program. i am 18 now and i wanted to know if it would be sealed and not viewable for the background check.

Answer: You were never arrested by law enforcement, so it should not appear on your GCIC. However, the case may still be submitted to the local prosecutor for prosecution.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
