Shoplifting and Retail Theft Criminal Defense Lawyers
Parents are usually shocked when informed their child faces shoplifting charges. Unfortunately, what can seem like little more than a rite of passage for teenagers is a serious crime in the eyes of the law.
A shoplifting conviction can carry heavy fines for anyone. When the accused is a teenager or other young person, the consequences can be even worse. Hard-to-find teen jobs become even harder to find, and employers and colleges are becoming even more vigilant concerning applicants.
If you or your child faces shoplifting charges or other theft charges, including embezzlement, larceny, robbery or armed robbery, you need to take all available precautions to avoid a conviction and to protect their legal rights. At the Westland and Detroit, Michigan, legal association of AWB & Associates we can provide experienced criminal defense assistance.
Do you or your child face shoplifting charges or other theft-related charges? Call (734) 403-3016 or (866) 720-5589.
Charges of shoplifting at retail stores, shopping centers, and shopping malls can be complex, and often involve voluminous and conflicting information and evidence. Our three-member team of attorneys is experienced in handling all types of theft charges. We have handled thousands of criminal cases as private-practice criminal defense lawyers, and as municipal judges, assistant prosecutors and city attorneys.
We can work with investigators to obtain evidence and contest your child's or your own criminal charges. We can also work with the courts' leniency programs, including the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act (HYTA), and work for lessened sentences under first-time offender status rules. We can often keep first offenders' convictions off their records or have their records expunged. With a clean or expunged record, employment and school plans are not threatened. For more information on how we can help you fight your shoplifting and theft charges, contact us for a free initial consultation.
