Yes, that is possible. Before you plead guilty or no contest to a crime of theft, you should talk to a qualified attorney. These crimes are very serious, and will remain on your record...THE REST OF YOUR LIFE....it's worth taking a FREE consultation. I am available by phone at 661-2671313 for a FREE consultation.

Convicted or not, you're an 'at will' employee that can be fired any time for any reason. So, you should keep your employer happy with you, and you should defend the criminal charges. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me. If convicted or you plea to a deal, then you may be able to get your record expunged a year or more ater. Contact me for that too if interested.
