Why Hire an Experienced Shoplifting and Theft Charge Defense Attorney?
Many people facing a misdemeanor theft charge such a shoplifting do not fully understand the serious consequences of a conviction or guilty plea. In fact, prosecutors often rely on this. Convincing you to plead guilty to shoplifting saves them time and money and helps them appear tough on crime. But at what cost to you?
Pleading guilty to shoplifting or another misdemeanor theft charge may seem like the easiest way to keep from going to jail and to put a stupid mistake behind you. Unfortunately, you are left with a permanent criminal record that can follow you for the rest of your life. Every time you fill out a job application or background check for a lease, you may be required to disclose the fact that you have been convicted of a crime.
