Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

Retail Fraud 3rd/ Disorderly Conduct

Here is the bottom line.....originally got busted for taking 1 $12.00 earing. Was chraged with Retail Fraud 3rd and got a plea deal for it to be lowered to disorderly conduct. got probation for 8 months and have to complete a shoplifiting awareness program plus some minor copunseling and no using alcohol? and I have to seek or maintain employment. MY MAIN question is WILL MY CURRENT EMPLOYER FIND OUT ABOUT THIS? i am really scared? how bad does this look on my records if for some reason they were to run my criminal history although they already did this when i was hired. because i also have to provide verication or they have to see i have employment. so how exactly does it/this work. did my lawyer get me a good deal. i am from MI. my lawyer said this is the most minor thing to be charged with and that if it ever came up i could tell the employer me and some buddies were being loud in a store we were asked to leave and we didnt and the cops came?

thanks please answer my questions thanks

Re: Retail Fraud 3rd/ Disorderly Conduct

I do not suggesty lying to your employer. If your employer checks your criminal record, it is likely that your conviction will show up.

It is not possible to determine if your lawyer got you the best result in your case without knowing ALL the facts in your case. Our firm always considers the best result to be a complete dismissal of a case.
