Alpharetta Criminal Defense Attorney
Forsyth County ● Fulton County
A shoplifting arrest should not be taken lightly. Nor should the accused simply plead guilty and hope for the best. With the proper legal representation, it may be possible to overcome the charge. Alternatively, it may be possible to obtain an outcome that minimizes the penalties and keep the defendant's record clear of any permanent criminal history.
The Siemon Law Firm has successfully represented people from all walks of life who have been arrested for shoplifting. If you find yourself in this situation, call 866-497-5134 or send us an e-mail to arrange for a free consultation.
Misdemeanor vs. Felony Shoplifting
- Misdemeanor - Theft of less than $300 in merchandise from a store is a misdemeanor offense.
- Felony - If the merchandise is valued at $300 or more, the offense is a felony and carries potentially stronger penalties. Multiple small thefts can also result in a felony charge.
Have you been accused of shoplifting in Alpharetta's North Point Mall or another retail establishment? We review the evidence proposed to be used against you. Some shoplifting charges are the result of a misunderstanding. Whenever possible, The Siemon Law Firm vigorously defends you against these charges with a goal of overcoming the charge or obtaining a dismissal.
In other situations, the best course may be to seek a negotiated outcome that minimizes the penalties. Our experienced attorneys explain your options and the potential likelihood of success for each. We ensure you understand the charges and the possible outcomes, allowing you to make an informed decision on how to proceed with your case.
Avoiding a Conviction
Even if you were caught shoplifting and there is evidence against you, you may still be able to avoid a conviction. The Siemon Law Firm may be able to negotiate an arrangement that provides for an eventual dismissal of the charge in exchange for community service or other duties set by the Court. We have experience working with the Courts of Milton, Alpharetta and all others in the metro Atlanta area.
