It is important to know that Georgia law considers the shoplifting of items valued under $300 to be a misdemeanor, while the theft of items worth more than $300 constitutes a felony. Both felony and misdemeanor shoplifting convictions can stay on a person's record and damage his or her career or educational prospects.
We can help you confront the charges against you by investigating the evidence, such as in-store video footage, and the value of the allegedly stolen items in determining the best defense strategy. Even if the evidence against you or your child is strong, we are skilled at negotiating with store representatives and courts to develop restitution plans (such as fines, payment for merchandise and community service) and other solutions that don't involve a criminal conviction.
