NEW YORK CITY & WHITE PLAINS CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS
WHO DEFEND SHOP LIFTING CHARGES
With the economy continuing to muddle through tough times, our White Plains, New York City and Westchester County criminal defense lawyers are seeing more and more cases of shoplifting. Our White Plains criminal defense lawyers & Manhattan criminal defense attorneys are seeing more people who are not criminals and who ordinarily have no contact with the criminal justice system facing petit or grand larceny charges. Often the charges involve something that people don’t ordinarily perceive as larceny, such as switching tags on a more expensive item for a lower price item or intentionally failing to swipe merchandise at a self check out. Likewise our criminal defense lawyers have handled numerous cases where employees in retail stores were charged with various types of larceny including not ringing up items, doing fake return and other acts. While most people see this as just trying to save a few bucks, the law regards it as a crime. If you have been arrested for petit larceny or grand larceny don’t worry. Our White Plains criminal defense attorneys know that while jail is a technical possibility for these crimes, it is rarely imposed for first time offenders who are facing larceny charges. Our New York and White Plains criminal defense lawyers often get these charges reduced to non-criminal offenses and avoid jail, probation and any criminal record.
We recognize that shoplifting is often an impulse act, and most people who are arrested for petit larceny are not career criminals. Often, this crime is committed by teenagers and our attorneys have experience representing young people who are arrested for shoplisting. The Courts and prosecutors also recognize that young people who make impulisve decisions deserve a break. So if your child was arrested for shoplifting, it is not the end of the world, and our experienced New York City and Westchester criminal defense lawyers, who represent people arrested for shoplifting, have extensive experience in working out resolutions of these charges that can minimize the stigma and long term consequences of an arrest
