Theft & Shoplifting Charges

Philadelphia Theft Defense Attorney

Shoplifting charges may occur as a result of a misunderstanding or a mistake. Whether the alleged shoplifter knowingly took merchandise is the prosecution's burden of proof. An experienced theft and shoplifting defense lawyer protects the legal rights of the accused at every step of the criminal justice process. If charges cannot be proven, the case must be dismissed.

Evidence: Flimsy or Solid?

A detailed investigation into the nature of the evidence is the foundation of a solid defense. A lack of photographic evidence is often reason enough to get charges dismissed. Even when there is clear physical evidence that a shopper intentionally stole something, a skillful defense attorney fights to humanize the client and help him or her avoid jail time through more humane and productive penalties such as therapy, rehabilitation, restraining orders and/or restitution.
