Representing People Charged with Shoplifting and Other Theft Crimes
Many people are unaware of the serious penalties of shoplifting. They shoplift because of an error in judgment, youthful indiscretion or simple boredom. Some shoplift because of more serious underlying problems. Others are simply wrongly accused.
Regardless of your situation, one thing is true: if you have been arrested for shoplifting, you should work with an attorney — like the attorneys at Sutnick & Sutnick, LLC — who can protect your interests. In New Jersey, the penalty for shoplifting and other types of theft charges depend on the amount of money or value of items alleged to have been stolen. If the value is less than $200.00, the case is handled in Municipal Court. Cases for all other amounts are prosecuted by the county prosecutor in Superior Court. Penalties can include jail, probation and community service.
At Sutnick & Sutnick, LLC, we aggressively defend against shoplifting charges by using all legal tools and strategies available under the law. Let our Hackensack, New Jersey, law firm determine if you are eligible for a diversionary program which will eventually permit the judge to dismiss your case. Let us see if we can reduce the charges. Let us challenge the evidence and charges at trial.
