My son is 15 y/o and being charge with strong armed robbery assault battery and conspiracy after the fact

Answered 8 years and 11 months ago by Dr. Michael Gordon Sribnick (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
If your son was charged, you should retain a criminal defense attorney to represent him.  The fact that one boy was not charged does not offer a defense to your son.  This answer neither creates a lawyer/client relationship nor constitutes legal advice.

I have a friend that has a felony on his record for malicious injury to property-nonviolent. Can this be expunged or concealed?

Answered 10 years and a month ago by attorney Christopher Patrick Biering, Esq.   |   1 Answer
I have experienced countless clients whose criminal record was very different than they believed.  An attorney can review the official criminal history and determine possible options to remove information.  Client's should not "assume" to know the contents without detailed review of the official criminal history. For example, individuals are routinely charged with a felony, but convicted of misdemeanors that are eligible for expungement.  Many individuals benefit from the expungement process, even if the process does not completely clear the record.  Most Solicitor's office can provide the basic applications, but remember -- they do not represent you.  ...

how can i get my records expunged

Answered 11 years and a month ago by attorney Jonathan Brooks Davis   |   1 Answer
Expungment is done through the solicitor's office. Not all offenses may be expunged (felonies may only be expunged unnder the JOA). Also, an expungment simply seals the record. The courts will still have access. If you are looking to have certain rights restored (i.e. gun ownership) you must apply for a pardon through the governor's office.... Read More

How many hour will I gain community service ? And what do I do when I go to court

Answered 11 years and 9 months ago by attorney Kevin M. Seibert   |   1 Answer
As you are likely charged as a juvenile, you should be given a hearing in family court and given the opportunity to find an attorney. Given your questions concerning the process and outcome your best bet is to consult with a local attorney in this matter.

Answered 12 years ago by James Courtney (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
        You have been charged with a serious crime and you should get a private lawyer or a public defender who will review with you what you have been charged with and how much time that charge carries.  Don't wait, you are probably due in court soon.

What will they do to first time offenders with 3 accounts of 2nd degree burglary?

Answered 12 years and 4 months ago by Dr. Michael Gordon Sribnick (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
This answer does not create an attorney/client relationship.  I am a S.C. attorney and board certified internal medicine physician.  No one can predict exactly how much time a person will serve.  There are sentenancing guidelines, but the ultimate decision is with the judge.  I urge you to hire a lawyer, if you can afford one.  If you cannot afford a lawyer, you have the right to have a lawyer appointed for you by the State of S.C.  Please take advantage of that right, as you are facing some serious prision time.

when receiving stolen goods is consider a felony charge

Answered 12 years and 5 months ago by Dr. Michael Gordon Sribnick (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
This answer in no way creates a lawyer/client relationship.  I am a S.C. lawyer and S.C. board certified internist. My advice to you is to hire a lawyer to protect your interests.  It is worth the money to try and get this charge from becoming a conviction.  You do not want a conviction of a felony to appear on your record.

After a person is convicted for robbery, can they go to jail again, if after they are resleased, they use the stolen money?

Answered 12 years and 5 months ago by Dr. Michael Gordon Sribnick (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
This answer does not create a lawyer client relationship.  I am a S.C. lawyer and board certified internist.  Someone sent to prison for robbery, who had stashed away stolen money, and later spent that stolen money, would be guilty of a sencond independent crime, and, if caught, could be prosecuted for knowingly spending stolen money.  My advice to this someone would be to turn the money into the police, and avoid a second felony and prison time.  If that someone spends the money, and is caught he will need more money for a good lawyer.
