OVERVIEW OF SHOPLIFTING CHARGES IN CALIFORNIA

Need a lawyer for shoplifting? Shoplifting is the illegal stealing or taking of an item from a place of sale with the intention of not paying or paying less than the stated value. Shoplifting crimes often encompass goods of little value. Punishments for shoplifting crimes consist of a fine, possible community service and a notice of theft on your permanent record. An Orange County criminal defense lawyer can help you establish what options you may have available and take legal action on your behalf.
