Can a summary offense be expunged. Will a $4.00 retail theft show up on a job application?
Question Details: My son in 2007 committed retail theft for $4.00 - $5.00 and plead guilty in magisterial court. It is listed as a summary offense. Can we try to have this expunged? When employers are checking backgrounds, will it appear? Thank you very much.

You can get it expunged because it is a summary offense. The only problem is that you have to wait five years before your son is eligable for expungement. I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions please feel free to contact me at 215-825-5183.
Kind regards,
