Fulton County Shoplifting Defense Attorney
Shoplifting and other forms of theft are treated seriously by Georgia courts and judges.

In part due to our Alpharetta office's close proximity to the North Point Mall, our attorneys frequently handle cases involving shoplifting from Macy's, Dillard's and other North Point retailers. Our experience extends to:

- Thorough investigation of the evidence against you to determine the best course of action in your case
- Working with prosecutors and retail store representatives to avoid a conviction, especially if you or the loved one you are trying to help has no prior criminal record
- Negotiating assertively for alternatives to conviction including restitution and community service - resulting in protection of your criminal record and future prospects
