Re: petit theft

If your son was arrested for the petit theft offense as an adult, his arrest record is public record and will show up on a criminal background check... even if his charge was dropped upon the completion of PTI. If he is an adult, he probably wants to get his arrest record sealed or expunged. For more information on sealing & expunging criminal arrest records, please visit my website at www.slavinlawfirm.com

I handle lots of these cases and can do so through the mail and over the phone if you are interested.
