My dad died almost eight years ago and the attorney has not closed his estate. Is this customary?
Expungement/Criminal Background Check
Last year I was charged with retail theft, it was my first offense and the amount was under $150 so I got charged with a summary offense. I was photographed and fingerprinted I appeared before the judge and received an ARD, I took the classes and paid all fines and restitution. I have several questions I want to ask: 1.) Will this offense so up on a criminal background check? 2.) Would I even have a record at all? (b/c someone told me this may not give me a record) 3.) If this does show up on a criminal background check is there any way I could have it removed, expunged or pardoned?
