Shoplifting

When you are facing shoplifting charges, or any criminal charges for that matter, it is essential to investigate and understand all of your available options. Sometimes, the prosecution’s case is weak and the evidence puts you in a great position to have the charges dismissed outright. An experienced lawyer can thoroughly examine the discovery in your case and identify any and all potential grounds for a dismissal or ways to undermine reasonable doubt. However, in some cases, plea negotiations are the best way to put your case behind you. Even with a great case, a skilled defense attorney can negotiate a downgrading of your shoplifting charges to a municipal ordinance violation, which is similar to a ticket, where you pay a small fine and have no criminal record. Other times, your lawyer can have the charges downgraded to another offense that is not a crime of moral turpitude, such as disorderly conduct, which will not affect your immigration status if you are not a U.S. citizen. This is also the best option in some cases, as you don’t want to put your life in America on the line by taking the case to trial. What is most important about handling your shoplifting case is having a knowledgeable defense attorney who can vet all of your viable options, explain each one, and aggressively pursue the best defense strategy.
