Why Hire Us to Defend You After Being Charged with Shoplifting?
Potential clients often ask us questions such as the following before deciding to hire us as criminal defense attorneys:
- Can I trust you?
- Are your fees reasonable?
- Do you focus solely on criminal defense?
The answers to these questions are "yes" according to our past clients. In fact, criminal defense is all that we do — and we take every case seriously, since we know that the outcomes will be of great consequence to our clients. A conviction versus probation versus case dismissed can mean all the difference to our clients' futures.
- Perhaps you were distracted by your children while shopping, and did not realize that you were walking out with a piece of clothing on that you had tried on but had neglected to pay for.
- Perhaps you had not even left the store, but had impulsively stuck an item in your pocket while shopping — not intending to steal it, but you were questioned on alleged intentions to steal.
- Perhaps you forgot to pay for the gasoline although you did pay for the hotdog at a convenience store.
- Perhaps you knowingly did steal food in order to feed your children, out of desperation.
