Shoplifting Defense Attorney for Fulton County
Many people plead guilty to shoplifting arrests on the hope that it will make the charge "go away." Unfortunately, pleading guilty will result in a conviction which can follow you around for the rest of your life. The assistance of an experienced criminal defense attorney can prevent a poor decision from becoming a permanent criminal record.
The Siemon Law Firm has successfully represented people from all walks of life who have been arrested for shoplifting. If you find yourself in this situation, call 866-497-5134 or send us an e-mail to arrange for a free consultation with a Milton Shoplifting Lawyer.
A Serious Crime in Georgia
Theft of less than $300 in merchandise is a misdemeanor in Georgia. Shoplifting items worth $300 or more is a felony. While a felony is more serious, even a misdemeanor conviction would result in a lifetime criminal record that you would have to disclose on an application for employment.
With the representation of an experienced attorney you may be able to overcome an accusation of shoplifting or at least negotiate an outcome that minimized penalties. If this is your first shoplifting offense, you may be eligible for pretrial diversion or a conditional discharge, which will allow us to resolve the charges without the stigma of a criminal conviction.
Our lawyers will review the facts of your case and explain your options and the likelihood of success for each. Our lawyers have experience working with the Courts of Milton, Alpharetta and other communities in the metro Atlanta area.
