Re: lifting

First of all, the best way to get your record clear is to fight the case have it dismissed or be foudn not guilty. Let the lawyer decide if they can prove the case against you.

Second, if you have no record, you probably won't go to jail, but you don't want this on your record. It could make getting a job, going to college, etc. very difficult for you in the future. Thus, speak to an attorney before you do or say anything.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.
