Shoplifting falls under the criminal offense of "Theft." As a form of theft, Shoplifting may be charged as a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the "Value" of the items that are associated with the shoplifting crime.

Shoplifting may be charged as a misdemeanor if the "value" of the items unlawfully taken are less than $300.00. If the "value" of the items are $300.00 or greater, the accused may be charged with a felony.

If you noticed, we put the word "value" in parenthesis. Why did we do this? Because the ACTUAL value of the items should be applied to the criminal charge, not necessarily the labeled price. Think about it. You could go to 50 different stores that carry the same products in question, and discover all five locations charge a different amount for the same product. Therefore when we investigate your shoplifting case, we will seek a provable price or "value" of the items in question. This could mean the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony criminal charge.

Shoplifting is a crime of intent and informed knowledge of possession of the items in question. We have seen many cases where the individual had no idea that another person they were with intentionally or unintentionally dropped an item in the accused purse or his or her backpack.

Being accused of shoplifting does not mean a conviction is automatic. The experience of the lawyer you hire to represent and protect your rights could be the difference between a conviction, acquittal, dropped charges, or a reduced plea agreement.

Be proactive in protecting your legal rights. Speak to Criminal Defense Lawyer, Adam B. Reiss.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "Adam is the best lawyer around! He took on my case and put his knowledge and experience to work to get the BEST outcome for me. I am so thankful for all he did for me and will 100% recommend him to anyone that is looking for a lawyer."

  • Low key THE VERY BEST ATTORNEY in the state of Florida!!! Handled a very complex criminal matter for me. His consultation was really that, not like other lawyers who just quote a price and leave you hanging. He actually explored every option I had, even made a few phone calls in my behalf. When I left his office I felt relieved and confident that he had my matter totally taken care of. After a few months, the prosecutors decided not to file charges. I truly believe this was because I had a very knowledgeable and aggressive attorney defending me. If you’re facing any criminal charges, do yourself a favor and hire Adam. You won’t be disappointed."
