Shoplifting
  • Great job protecting my future
    “Ryan was a trusted adviser throughout the course of my legal issues. I was unfamiliar with legal proceedings and Ryan was able to explain to me my legal situation, and risks associated with various defenses and decisions I had to make. He took the time to explain all the scenarios to my satisfaction which gave me piece of mind and comfort. Ryan was also very responsive through various forms of communications (phone, email, text) which made keeping in contact convenient throughout the process. Ryan showed up on time (early in fact) to various appointments and appeared to handle relationship building effectively with opposing attorneys and the prosecutor. At the end of the day, I was very satisfied with the work done by Ryan as the outcome of my legal matter was better than I had expected and kept my reputation in tact, which undoubtedly will help me pursue my future career/professional ambitions.”

About Shoplifting Charges

Shoplifting charges are categorized according to the value of goods stolen. A fourth degree shoplifting charge is usually charged for goods stolen with a value between $200 and $500 and may be charged as a felony punishable by up to 18 months in prison and fines of up to $10,000. This charge may be reduced to a misdemeanor if the accused does not have prior convictions.

Misdemeanor shoplifting usually involves stealing merchandise valued at less than $200 and is charged as a disorderly persons offense. This type of shoplifting charge may be punishable by fines, restitution, up to six months in jail, community service, probation, and even a driver's license suspension. If you are convicted, you will have a criminal record which can have an adverse effect on job and educational opportunities in the future.
