However, there are limited exceptions to this. For this... Read more »

He thinks if he waits till prob period runs out he will be free and clear.
That is not necessarily true. Probation could submit to the Court a tolling order and if it has been signed his probation would stop or "toll" until such time as he is arrested not the warrants. If a tolling order has been signed there is no way for his probation period to run out.
If I advised a criminal defense attorney (not my attorney) that, it appears his client suborned perjury and I provide him proof of the questionable communication, are those communications* protected by attorney client privilege?
.I realize my confidentiality would not be protected. I am... Read more »
Lawyers are allowed to use non-privileged communications as they see fit in their advocacy for their client. You reporting a "crime" their client may have previously committed would not necessarily force them to do anything, and how they use that information is up to their own ethical analysis....

No. It does not mean that. You should file for discovery in pretty much every criminal case. The prosecution will generally make a plea offer in almost all cases.

Criminal defense motions should usually be filed prior to arraignment, if possible.
Since most drug cases are felonies, discovery in those cases is generally pursued reciprocally, meaning the prosecution has to show you their evidence but you also have to show the prosecution yours.

This question is posted in the wrong forum. This is a criminal law question.
To file my expungement in cobb i’ve been told i need proof my background is causing me not to get a job. But i’ve only been told verbally on the phone so how can i provide this documentation?
If you are denied a job and they pulled your background as part of the process they should provide you with a disclosure letter. That should suffice. Good luck!

I can’t stop worrying myself to death
Don't worry about this too much. It is likely very minor and you should ask the prosecutor if there is a Diversion program that will keep any bad marks off your record. They are really nice in Stone Mtn. Bad parking, good court.
does a legal guardian have to come and get them out or can anyone over the age of 18 legally get them out of custody?
A little bit more info is needed, as it all depends on how and for what the minor was detained. The courts are also VERY wary of sharing any information about juvenile proceedings with the public (even relatives) so a lawyer is very useful in fast-tracking any potential release.
Since I had no intention of taking the $9 item, and never tried to leave the store with it, how could it be shoplifting?
