Shoplifting & Petit Larceny

Criminal Defense in Buffalo for Shoplifting or Theft Charges

If you are convicted for shoplifting and other petit (petty) theft, you will have a criminal record that will follow you for the rest of your life. At the Law Offices of Norman Mattar, we will work hard to help you avoid a criminal record and prevent you from having to spend any time in jail.

At the Law Offices of Norman Mattar, we have more than 25 years' experience representing criminal defendants in the state and federal courts of Buffalo and Western New York. Each client of the firm works directly with our founder, a former assistant district attorney for Erie County, Norman Mattar.

Protective Criminal Defense Services From a Former Assistant District Attorney

Due to decades of experience, we understand that there is no such thing as a "minor" criminal charge. Whether you've been arrested for shoplifting or another type of criminal offense, we conduct an independent examination, seeking to undermine the testimony of opposing witnesses, uncover improper police procedures, and make sure our clients' constitutional rights are respected throughout the entire process.

We handle shoplifting and theft cases for both juveniles and adults. If you are a juvenile, we will do everything we can to keep you from being charged as an adult.

Whether you are charged with misdemeanor shoplifting or any other criminal offense, our goal is to keep you out of jail and keep your criminal record clean.
