Shoplifting and Employee Theft
Shoplifting is typically a petty misdemeanor. However, when the value of merchandise is over $400 or for repeat offenses, it can be charged as a felony, resulting in up to three years in prison. As most people are caught with the items or captured on camera, fighting shoplifting charges centers on proving that the theft was unintentional. When the prosecution has a solid case, we negotiate for lesser charges or alternative punishment.
For a first-time shoplifting conviction, we may be able to avoid jail time in exchange for restitution, probation, or fines. We can help you avoid jail. If you are sentenced to jail, some judges may allow you to serve your sentence on weekends/work release. Upon completion of probation, we can help you file for a 1203.4 dismissal of the charges. This form of record expungement allows you to legally state (on a job or loan application) that you were never convicted, although your arrest record stays on file.
