Working to Keep First-Offense Shoplifting Charges Off Your Record
Shoplifting charges are a form of theft charges, and even a first offense has the potential to carry serious penalties. However, when the facts support a guilty verdict, judges are usually open to showing leniency because many of these crimes are the result of peer pressure or an impulsive lapse in judgment.
At Ray Gary Jr., Law Office, our attorneys work hard to have the charges dropped and kept off the defendant's permanent record. We are often able to do this by enrolling the defendant in a diversionary program involving community service, counseling or other alternative forms of sentencing.
Second and Third Offenses
Judges are less likely to agree to a diversionary program on the second or third offense. In these cases, then, we focus on attempting to negotiate a plea bargain with the most lenient sentence possible. However, if we believe the evidence doesn't support a conviction, we will fight for a not-guilty verdict.
At the Ray Gary Jr., Law Office, we provide all of our clients with a thorough, dedicated and knowledgeable criminal defense. We will devote the time, focus and energy needed to formulate the strongest, most beneficial strategy in light of the facts. Our clients all work directly with an experienced attorney in devising the strongest possible strategy.
