First offense and multiple offense shoplifting charges

Shoplifting charges can range from disorderly persons offenses (misdemeanors) to felony charges. Our firm recognizes the impact these charges have on people's lives. We take many steps to ensure our clients receive a full defense with the ultimate goal of obtaining the best possible outcome for our clients. We thoroughly analyze the evidence. In shoplifting and retail theft, this involves examining videotaped surveillance and interviewing store personnel. For first offenders, including those who have been charged in relation to employee theft and price tag switching, we are often able to negotiate a dismissal of the charges. Convictions on subsequent offenses carry penalties such as mandatory 90 days in jail.

We defend people of all ages who have been charged with shoplifting, including juveniles. In many cases we can negotiate a resolution with the retailer that will carry no criminal conviction. Where necessary, we will fight for a dismissal or acquittal.

Shoplifting charges can be fought and the rights of the accused can be protected. Contact The Law Office of Ronald J. Brandmayr today to learn how we can help.
