SHOPLIFTING
In some cases, people are charged with shoplifting, whether it is clothes, electronics, or jewelry. It can represent a desperate time in one’s life. Other times, it is a reflection of a sickness or addiction. Other times, it is purely a misunderstanding. With these factors we are able to challenge the charge based on the intent of the alleged shoplifter. If one did not have the intent to steal, then they should not be convicted of such a crime.
THEFT SCHEME AND EMBEZZLEMENT
Individuals are sometimes charged with theft schemes stemming from attempting to take advantage of a situation at their employment where they either attempt to steal merchandise or alter the books in a manner that will benefit them financially. These matters are taken very seriously by the government and are sometimes punished more harshly than shoplifting situations. That being said, the government still must prove intent to steal. In addition, there are also programs and negotiated settlements that will greatly improve these situations. Often, a reasonable and honest negotiation can allow one to avoid incarceration and even a conviction.
THEFT OF VEHICLES/UNAUTHORIZED USE OF VEHICLES
These charges are among the most serious theft-oriented charges and they are considered felonies in most jurisdictions. The same issues are present; however, and there are often manners in which to negotiate settlements that makes sense. In addition, the government still must prove the intent to steal.
BURGLARY
These situations involve the breaking and entering into a dwelling or business and the commission or attempted commissions of a theft therein. These situations are taken very seriously, but these charges often arise out of misunderstandings as well. It is important to come talk to us if these charges arise, so that we can get started as early as possible.
