Shoplifting Defense Attorney | Sacramento CA
Sometimes shoplifting is the result of forgetfulness and sometimes it is the result of an impulsive desire. When the value of the items stolen is less than $400 it is treated as petty theft. This is a misdemeanor that can sometimes be dropped if the item is returned or if restitution is paid. However, when the value of the stolen item is higher than $400 it is considered grand theft and the potential consequences are increased since it is a felony. We can help you address these charges and in some cases, reduce or eliminate them altogether.

We will clearly explain the available options and help to deal with the matter quickly and effectively.
