In a typical Diversion program your case is "dismissed" once you complete program. A typical background check only searches for convictions. This then should not impact a job search that is only interested in convictions

Did he tell you what the record will say if you are granted Diversion?

It appears your concern is a criminal record and how it will impact future jobs. If that is the case then you need to ask your Attorney about diversion or the like. I am sorry your not getting replies the way you wish but we realize your worried and want answers soon as possible. We make every...

Can you be a bit more detailed? Not quite sure what your asking here

If this site was any help at all please post something in our testimonial section

The likihood the store will file criminal charges is slightly above zero. The store gains nothing by doing so at this point and with amount so low DA would likely throw out case if they did. We cannot say for certain of course but if I was to guess I would say this is over once you pay civil...

We are not saying you wont get a letter of civil demand just that its unlikely. You can sue if you like but you have no damages. You are welcome to stay here and share your story with others but caution you to not give advice on issues your not familar with.

By the way its "your" thread drag it out long as you wish

Theres nothing to file or prosecute because you paid for items!

Lets calm down the likihood they will send such a letter is low as there was no theft! You paid for items! Its not extortion. Retailers los eover 15 billion each year to shoplifting alone and thats not the biggest bulk of their loses! The Civil Demand laws help recoup some of the cost to protect...

I will say that its unlikekly Civil Demand will be sent since you were allowed to pay for items.

This is a "guess" but on a $13.00 theft I would "guess the civil demand request to be between $50.00 to $100.00

My guess (its only a guess) is around $500.00

You have two problems? 1. They do not need to prove your intent if you passed last point of sale 2. As you can read below concealment alone is a crime so leaving store is not required ARTICLE 16A. RETAIL THEFT Sec. 16A-1. Legislative declaration. It is the public policy of this State that...

You do realize the cost to fight this will likely triple (or more) the fines and there is still the risk of being found guilty. You need to talk to a Lawyer!

There is no magic formula for this. However if I was to guess (its only a guess) your will be around $200.00

We cant answer why your friend got what he got we do not know cases or details. Far as expunging a record that is normally reserved for "convictions". Once more I urge you seek out other Attorneys and ask them these questions as what your telling us here does not make sense

I echo your concerns which is why I am suggesting you set up consultations with other Attorenys

I hate to keep repeating myself but you need to get this answered by your Attorney. You might also consult another for more clarification. I personally dont see how your Attorney can get case dismissed without trial or DA dropping charges. by the way even if your record shows dismissal due to...

I think you have a distorted view of "dismissals" If your case is dismissed due to a diversion program or ACD you still pay fines, community service etc but once you complete program your case is "dismissed" meaning "no conviction" If your case is dismissed due to DA dropping charges there are...
