Help With Expungement of Criminal Records in Fulton County
A shoplifting conviction, just like any other theft conviction, can carry penalties of up to a year in jail for a misdemeanor, or longer than a year for a felony. The consequences of shoplifting can stay with you for a long time, potentially impacting college and job applications and other things of consequence. Since many retailers zealously pursue charges against those accused of stealing from their stores, even when the stolen items are of very little monetary value, it is important to have a strong defense against shoplifting charges.
