Charged With Shoplifting?

Shoplifting may sound simple - perhaps a momentary loss of judgment by a young person - but it can have serious consequences. Depending on the value of the merchandise involved and relevant prior convictions, it can quickly escalate into an even more serious matter. Simply removing the retailer’s theft-detection device can be a crime -- even if you do not succeed in leaving the store with any merchandise.

If you are charged with shoplifting, you need strong advocacy to defend your rights and push for the best outcome available in your circumstances.

Defense Against Shoplifting Charges

If you were videotaped shoplifting, it may not be realistic to expect acquittal or "not guilty" verdict at trial. However, we may be able to achieve a favorable result by focusing on negotiations with the prosecution to minimize the consequences.

If surveillance equipment was not used, we examine the case closely to determine whether or not the arresting officer had reasonable suspicion and probable cause. An improper search or arrest could possibly result in suppression of the evidence against you and ultimate dismissal of your charges.

Conviction for a crime of any type can have serious, life-changing consequences. With so much at stake, you can trust us to vigorously defend you.
