I told him that i'm going to hire him. I've described my case to him in detail and he seemed confident. We'll meet in his office this Friday. You're suggesting he could be lying?

I'm actually not sure about the details because we've only talked on the phone, but i'm going to let him help me so we're meeting this Friday. He said he knows most of the prosecutors and he's done this to like a hundred cases. I should ask him to represent me in the court right?

Thank you so much for the advice, i've been paranoid because i'm really worried about my future. I don't want to ruin my life over this stupid mistake. I've learned so much from this lesson.

Well, he told me to plea not guilty and then plea bargain for disturbing the peace. I wonder, after pleading not guilty, isn't there going to be a trial later & the evidences will be presented?

When I was caught, I admitted that I stole the stuff, and there was video tape i think, are those going to be the evidences against me? is it likely/possible to reduce this case to disturbing the peace?

even if it is a misdemeanor?

how serious is disturbing the peace? will it affect employment or graduate school application?

i just asked an immigration lawyer and he suggested me to go for disturbing the peace charge, because it's not a CIMT so i would't have immigration issues. if i get a misdemeanor of disturbing the peace, can it be expunged?

no no, i was just wondering if it could be dropped to an infraction of petty theft, not disturbing the peace

i was caught shoplift in San Diego. the amount of merchandise was $94. how likely it is to drop the case to an infraction? it was my first offense too.

they took my fingerprint when they caught me, is it going to be troublesome when i apply for visa even if it's an infraction?

is disturbing the peace considered as an infraction?

one silly question: what's the difference between a DA and a judge? when do i get to meet them?

but when i apply for VISA, there's one thing i need to check: "have you ever been arrested or convicted for any offense or crime, even though subject of a pardon, amnesty of other similar legal action?" do i check yes or no even if the case is reduced to an infraction?

if the case is reduced to an infraction, will i have trouble getting a visa? will i have trouble at port of entry? i'm not a citizen or a resident

one more question: if the case is finalized as disturbing the public, will it still be on the criminal record? or any other kind of record of mine? if later a company does a background check, will it still show&affect me?

thank you very much for the advise, i'll post more if the situation improved

yes, i think this is a good deal, but im just not sure if what he said was possible. My question here is : is it really possible to turn a shoplift/petty theft case to a disturbing public case?

I did visit another lawyer and his fee was 4500, i was shocked. also, i'm more concerned about the reducing the case to "disturbing public" part, any suggestions please?
