Is it possible to get a dropped charge removed from my record?

Stephen D. Hebert
Answered by attorney Stephen D. Hebert
Criminal Law lawyer at Stephen D. Hebert, LLC - Criminal Defense DWI Attorney
If the charges are dropped and there is no conviction, you should consult an attorney about expunging the arrest. In the event you are convicted, you may still be able to have everything expunged once you have successfully completed your probation. But, you would have to request at the time of your plea that be taken under Article 893 (for felonies) or Article 894 (for misdemeanors), with the imposition of sentence being deferred. If this request is granted, you can go back into court once you have successfully completed your probation and have the conviction set aside, and, in turn, expunge the arrest and conviction from your record. You should note that Article 893 (for felonies) or Article 894 (for misdemeanors) pleas are generally reserved for first time offenders, and an Article 893 (for felonies) or Article 894 (for misdemeanors) plea may not be available because of the actual offense that you are convicted of. Nonetheless, it is very important that the request for an Article 893 (for felonies) or Article 894 (for misdemeanors) plea must be made at the time of the plea and/or sentencing.

What kind of attorney do I need to fight a wrongful drug possession charge?

Christopher L Hoglin
Answered by attorney Christopher L Hoglin
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Christopher L. Hoglin
Your son needs an experience criminal defense attorney, who is familiar with drug laws, search and seizure laws, and how to argue "possession" charges. If your son did not have possession or control over the 4g of marijuana that his friend had, then he cannot be found guilty of possessing marijuana. However, in CA, possession of such a small amount of marijuana will usually be reduced to an Infraction, where your son will likely have a pay a small fine (about $100). However, if your son need to keep a clean record, paying the fine and pleading guilty to an Infraction may not be his best choice.

Can I be sued if someone I was with was arrested for theft and I was not?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Larry K. Dunn (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Weo Office Suites, LLC
A person is not criminally or civilly for being present when someone commits a crime. However, pointing at items and handing items to your friend may be considered evidence that you were participating in the crime. It is unclear why your friends parents would have grounds to hold you responsible for your friends actions or file a lawsuit against you. It is more likely that your friend or her parents may inform the police that you helped in committing the crime. You should consult with an attorney immediately.
