I plead guilty to petit theft so I could get withhold adjudication.  Will this affect employment and haunt me?

Of course it is still on your criminal record so it will follow you for life.  But on applications or anything like that don't leave it off when it asks if you've been convicted of a crime.  If you don't put it on there and a company hires you they can fire you if they find out.  Just be honest and if they ask, explain the situation.

I did and won.  The guy prosecuting made the whole thing up about cationing me and it was all lies - my age, phone number, tv details the whole lot.  I pleaded not guilty and got a new court date and TV licensing dropped the case 1 day before due in court.  You can go not guilty if you dont have a tv or if they've lied like above. Good luck - try it what have you got to lose ????

I doubt there are too many lawyers on here and the labor laws vary from state to state. the best idea is for you to contact the labor board in your area and explain the scenario to them. You said you were on a probation period, yet not on the payroll??? Were you  working for free??? If he paid you any wages during this time and did not take out taxes, nor report this to the State, he is also in violation of several laws concerning taxes and such. If he paid you wages and you have proof of that, you can take that down to the unemployment office.Good luck. Hope you find a better job, he sounds like a creep anyways.

If you didnt do it then do plead not guilty. The burden lies with the Police to prove YOU did it. It is not enough for them to prove you probably did it they have to prove it was you that made the violations.\n\nYou will most likely appear before a magistrate rather than a judge. You and the Po;ice will ech have a chance to give evidence and then the magistrat will make a decision.\n\nIf you did do it and you plead Not Guilty and the Police can prove it was you that did the crime the magistrate will take a dim view of your plea.

The dealer or bank will promise you that it won't go against your credit if you voluntarily turn it in, but he will be lying to you. It affects your credit just the same as an involuntary repossession.

Hopefully, your infraction was only a youthful mistake from a distant past. Under federal law, agencies cannot report an arrest that from date of entry was more than seven years ago.\nThat said, honest is always the best policy and you should tell your employer all the facts.\nAlso, it is up to the employer to make the final decision, after being aware of your records.\nObviously, sensitive jobs, such as a bank teller or a preschool teacher, would rather not hire ex-convicts.\nBut you should still try and contact as many employers as possible. Again, the final decision is made by them and having broken the law does not automatically preclude you from a job.

Just because they have a judgement against you doesn't mean they will automatically garnish your wages.  It is their option to take the judgement to another level and file a court action to enforce that judgement.  If they have some collateral on the loan they could try to repossess it first.  Or they could file to satify the judgement with a garnishment of wage.  If you can talk to them and work out payment arrangements they may work with you to resolve the judgement without going that far.

Adjudication is formal resolution of a matter.  If your case was deferred, it will be adjudicated later.  At that time, the charges may be dropped, i.e., you complied with the terms of the deferral, or the charges may be reinstated, in which case you might eventually be convicted of the felony.  \n\nHowever, unless and until you do receive a conviction, you have no legal obligation to disclose such on an employment application.  Requiring you to disclose your having been arrested or charged prior to being convicted would run contrary to our country's "innocent until proven guilty" doctrine.\n\nOne caveat:  If you are hired and are convicted at a later date, you may or may not have an obligation to tell your employer of the conviction.  This would be the case if laws exist that preclude a convicted felon from holding the position you seek.  For example, in many states a convicted felon may not practice pharmacy.

Not necessarily.  It depends on what type of hearing you will be going to.  If it's a preliminary hearing, you will just plea and get a new court date; however, if it is your sentencing date, probably.  \n\nAre you going to trial, or taking a plea bargain?  Do you know if you will be imprisoned, or do you just think it might be a condition of your sentencing.  \n\nWith a little more information a more complete answer could be given.  Let me know some of the details; maybe I can allay your fears.  \n\nGood luck.

no not unless asked by the court.\nIf asked by the court and you lie, then you may be charged with perjury also.\nThats a big one!

I feel for your situation.  Our justice system is totally messed up - I don't believe in the system especially the words "innocent until proven guilty".  I do understand plea deals for "lesser" sentences when offering information like accomplises and such, but to have to plead guilty when you are innocent is just wrong.  And I don't know why the justice system allows all the lying and entrapment.\n\nGood luck to you.

You will be fine especially if you have already put aside a 5000.00 restitution payment. They will give you probation.

You may get a ticking off and a small fine.  It's more likely that nothing will happen to you and that a grateful prosecutor will look at your documents and apply to have you discharged.  (I do hope so!)

Yes.\n\nI'm an attorney.\n\nIf you are suing the supervisor civilly, your attorney should have already told you to 'join' the employer as well in the suit.  If the current case is criminal, you can use the criminal conviction to help you in the civil case later.\n\nNow, be careful, because if he is found not guilty in the civil case, HE will use it in the civil case.  The standard of proof is easier in a civil case, so losing in criminal court does not mean you will lose in civil court, but you should keep it in mind.  Its kind of like the OJ case.  He was found not guilty in criminal court, but was found guilty in civil court, for essentially the same act.\n\nContact a lawyer in your state.  If its in the DC area, or CA, you can contact me if you need help finding someone.\n\nYou do not want to let this go!.  YOU MUST ADD THE EMPLOYER.  You sue them 'jointly and severally.'  That way whatever judgment you get, you can seek to recover from either party.  If you sue him and win say $5,000 and he doesn't have it you may never get your money.  By then it will be too late to add the employer because the case will already be over - 'adjudicated.'

If you owe the court money that was assessed as part of your sentencing, you could have your driver license suspended, or a warrant could be issued(capias) for your arrest.\n\nBetter to get hold of them before they "get a hold of you."  They are willing in most cases to work with you, but don't wait for them to contact you, YOU contact them.\n\n\nDear Old Dad

your public defender can help you.  i suggest you plead guilty for a lighter sentence.  hopefully you can get a few years of probation and no time in the pokey.  good luck.
