Theft Charges
Shoplifting Lawyers
Theft, including shoplifting, is a serious charge that carries significant penalties and will have a damaging impact on your record, in the event of conviction. Depending on the severity of the offense, you could face probation, fines and even jail time.
If you are either charged with a crime or you are a suspect in a criminal investigation it is important that you contact an experienced criminal attorney immediately. You should NOT meet with the police or any law enforcement officials without your attorney present. If you are contacted by law enforcement for your statement or an interview you should politely decline to speak with them until you have retained counsel.
