Being charged with a Theft Crime can have a severe affect on one’s liberty, criminal record, job opportunities, professional/business license(s), driver’s license and reputation in the community.
Shoplifting
Shoplifting may sound like something that you would be charged with for stealing a small item from a shopkeeper and that it is a petty crime that has no penalty, but this is incorrect. Today, Retailers and Department Stores have spent millions of dollars on sophisticated equipment and loss prevention employees to prevent theft from their stores. Retailers and Department stores are petition Local Law Enforcement Officers and the District Attorney’s Office to prosecute these crimes to the full extent of the law.
There is a high likelihood that if you are charged with a Shoplifting Offense, that you will be afforded a Clerk’s Hearing. A Clerk’s Hearing is a great time for an experienced attorney to work out a deal with the Retailer or Department Store, in conjunction with the Police Prosecutor to avoid formal charges being filed in District Court.
