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.
