Defending a Shoplifting Charge
In Georgia, there are various levels of theft crimes, based primarily on the value of the goods in question. The Lariscy Law Firm will carefully examine the facts in your case to determine the best strategy to use in your case. In some cases, it may make sense to negotiate an outcome with the prosecutor that minimizes the penalties you face and avoids harsher punishments. In others, a defense of the charge at trial may be the best option.
Joseph Lariscy will explain your legal options and the likely outcomes of those alternatives. You will have the information you need to make an informed decision about your case.
Avoiding a Conviction
First-time offenders may be eligible for pretrial diversion, which enables a person to avoid a conviction and a criminal record, provided that he or she complies with the terms of the program. After the diversion period, your record will appear clean to prospective employers and educational institutions. Pretrial diversion is available in many misdemeanor and felony shoplifting cases.
Our attorney Joseph Lariscy has helped many people like you deal successfully with shoplifting charges. Mr. Lariscy frequently works with prosecutors to obtain pretrial diversion outcomes for our firm's clients. If you qualify and want that type of outcome, we will aggressively pursue that option for you.
An arrest for shoplifting is not the end of the world. You must however, deal with this challenge effectively. The Lariscy Law Firm will work diligently to obtain the best outcome possible for you.
