Hello. I would like to remain anonymous, but i have a very serious legal question.

I got fired from wal-mart about a month ago for stealing hydro/apap from the pharmacy i worked in. I know it was dumb. I told them i thought I had a drug problem otherwise i wouldn't have done it. I have been prescribed the same meds for my back problems and was taking them and filling them at the pharmacy i worked in for the whole 3 years i worked there, everyone including my boss knew this. the stealing didn't happen until the last few months or so.

No charges have been filed against me yet. But the police officer that was there when I got fired said that since I said I had a drug problem they shouldn't have fired me because I could sue them and the other cop got made and told him not to say that in front of me.

I have never been in trouble before and guess I'm wondering where I stand and if this may possibly get the charges for the drugs dropped? O do you think I need an attorney. Please help

First, does my lawyer have the right to request or demand he be able to question my 15 yo son without me being present? I'm getting conflicting responses. Because he is a minor, I'm being told I have the right to be in the room with my son. I want to know my son's rights as well as our parental rights.

We had a probation hearing. The probation officer said we would not discuss any of the charges at this time. That would be up to the prosecutor and his office to look at. We went through our interview process. The lawyer had my son right up a statement of the night in question. The probation officer never requested any kind of statement, but my lawyer produced the letter. It had incriminating evidence that was not in the police report. I thought you weren't supposed to offer information unless it was requested. After the meeting, the lawyer said he was glad the probation officer was "aggressive" in her interviewing. My husband and I thought that was an odd statement. He keeps acting like he wants my son to get in trouble to learn a lesson. He is not acting like he's working in the best interest of my son especially with the statement he produced from my son. Is this unethical behavior? What should we do?

I know this is considered a civil case because he's a juvenile, but I wasn't sure where to ask this questions with the choices I had. I put it under criminal law even though I know it's civil.
