When I was in junior high a friend and I basically got busted for some minor mischief. We both received misdemeanor offenses for, iirc, vandalism or something like that. It was basically a lot of bullshit dealing with angry power-tripping cops who liked to yell at 14 year olds for causing 200 dollars worth of damage to public property. So after it was all said and done, I just had to do some community service and was put on probation. I was also told that it could be expunged or sealed after I turned 18, but I'm unsure about the process and am reading conflicting statements online about some of this stuff Most importantly, do I need to hire a lawyer for this? if so, how much should I expect to pay and where do you go about finding a decent lawyer who doesn't cost a lot? Is a criminal record like this held on file both at state and federal bureaus? What I mean is, do I need to go through both state and federal bureaus to clear my record? How will this affect my employment opportunities? I've just read that only I may view my criminal record, but government/public agencies may also view it if I apply for a government job or am arrested again. But, obviously, a criminal record can hurt your employment opportunities, so I'm assuming that's in reference to felony charges, not misdemeanors?
