So I paid my citation and now I look on the Wi court website and I have a pending case open. I read somewhere that Wi does not have any expungents so when this case closes it will be on my record forever. I can still go to court, my court date is mid september, but I'm just wondering if a lawyer or public defender can do anything for me? This is my first offense, and the guilt is killing me inside, but i'm not sure what can be done for me. I don't want this on my record, I want to be able to say no to criminal charges on job applications.
