Arizona Shoplifting Attorney

Shoplifting is a common crime in Arizona, as there are many individuals who commit the act and feel that they won’t get caught. Many of them are juveniles, which results in them being tried through the juvenile court system or the case being settled out of court. When the crime is allegedly committed by an adult, a conviction can lead to a mark on the permanent record and this can make life difficult for someone looking for a job, trying to keep their existing one, looking for a place to live, and simply trying to move forward with their lives. We represent persons accused of shoplifting throughout Mesa, Phoenix, Scottdale, Glendale and more.

If you have been accused of shoplifting, you need an experienced Arizona shoplifting attorney to effectively represent you every step of the way so you can receive the best possible outcome. This starts with you knowing your rights and options so that you can make the right decisions.

Aggressive & Dedicated Arizona Shoplifting Defense

There are different types of shoplifting. There is the typical type where a person simply takes an item out of the store without paying for it. The second type of shoplifting occurs when someone tries switching tags or altering them in some way in order to get an item cheaper. The third type occurs when a person charges items to the account of an actual person or a fictitious person. The fourth is when items are transferred from one container to another.

Regardless of the type that you are charged with, there is always a defense strategy that can be used to get results. Your attorney will approach the case aggressively and give you the dedicated defense that you deserve.
