Misdemeanor and Felony Shoplifting Charges in Sandy Springs
Under Georgia law, the shoplifting of goods worth more than $300 is a misdemeanor, while the crime is a felony if the items are valued above $300. We can help you deal aggressively with either type of charge by:
- Carefully investigating the evidence against you to develop an effective defense strategy on your behalf
- Communicating with courts and store representatives to help prevent a conviction — this can include restorative measures like payment for merchandise, community service or other arrangements
- Working to keep a charge off your or your child's record through alternatives like pretrial diversion, conditional discharge and record expungement, particularly when it is a first offense
