Putting Decades of Defense And Negotiating Experience To Work For You

As a trusted legal resource for working people, students and professionals throughout our area for more than 30 years, our criminal defense lawyers have negotiated many favorable outcomes in retail theft cases. We can often work with the district attorney or judge in your county to help you avoid jail time, a severe fine or a conviction that stays on your criminal record forever.

Most people who face shoplifting charges are accused of stealing only small, relatively insignificant items. We will hear you out and negotiate skillfully on your behalf, emphasizing factors such as:

• Your overall clean record or the absence of any prior theft offenses
• Cooperation with law enforcement and willingness to return or pay for products or goods involved
• Any doubt about your intentions, especially in situations where you did not physically leave the store with a stolen item
