Defending Against Allegations of Shoplifting, Theft, Burglary and Robbery

Law enforcement is eager to develop a strong case against you for suspicion of shoplifting, burglary, theft and other property crimes. I will seek to level the playing field against you through conducting a thorough investigation. My aggressive approach is targeted at exposing any violations of your constitutional rights or procedural errors made by law enforcement. When you select me as your criminal defense lawyer, you can rest assured that I will offer an aggressive defense strategy against allegations of property crimes, including:

Shoplifting — This is typically a misdemeanor offense but can be charged as a felony for repeat offenders or if more than $400 was allegedly stolen. I will evaluate surveillance videos to help me develop a strong defense strategy. Part of my focus will be to negotiate for a dismissal, if you unintentionally walked out of the store with the merchandise.
Theft — If you are accused of taking someone's property without their permission, you are likely facing theft charges. The value of the property allegedly stolen will determine whether you are charged with a misdemeanor or felony offense. I will evaluate the evidence collected against you to determine the most effective defense strategy.
Burglary — You could be accused of burglary if you allegedly broke into a home or business with an intent to commit a crime. Unlike robbery, victims are typically not present and force is not used to carry out the crime.
Robbery — You could be facing robbery charges if you allegedly stole someone else's property with the use of force, threats, or intimidation. The potential penalties increase if you are charged with aggravated robbery for allegedly using a deadly weapon to conduct the robbery.

Every case is fact-specific. I will evaluate the evidence against you to effectively protect your constitutional rights. Part of my focus is to determine if the crime you allegedly committed fits the level of charges against you. I will not hesitate to fight for a dismissal or a reduction in charges based on any procedural errors or violations of your constitutional rights.
