Morristown Shoplifting Defense Attorney

Ferocious Representation Focused On Your Rights

Shoplifting has become a common crime in the United States. It is the unlawful taking of an item from any retail store or place of sale. The penalties for shoplifting are tied directly to the value of the goods stolen. In other words, as the item value goes up, so will possible penalties. If you have been charged with shoplifting, then you should contact a knowledgeable shoplifting defense lawyer in Morristown right away. Having a high-quality defense attorney on your side can make a big difference in negotiation or trial.

Typically, items that are shoplifted are of little value and an agreement can be negotiated if immediate action is taken, in some cases without formal charges being filed. Community service, fines, and possible probation are some of the potential consequences of a shoplifting charge. If the item you took was over $1,000, then the consequences are much more serious in a conviction, often leading to felony charges and time spent in state prison if convicted. Your prior criminal record will also weigh heavily on the sentence imposed by the court.
