Utah Defense Attorney: Shoplifting Charges
Being arrested for shoplifting can be a frightening and embarrassing experience. Many people who are arrested for shoplifting have no previous criminal record and know very little about the criminal justice system. Often, they do not know what to expect or where to turn for help.

How Can I Help?
As a local defense attorney with more than 20 years of legal experience, I know what to expect and how to handle shoplifting cases. I know when a prosecutor has a strong case and when their case has weaknesses that we can exploit.
I understand when a prosecutor is making a fair deal and when a prosecutor is being unreasonable. I give candid advice and I provide an aggressive defense for each of my clients.
Most shoplifting cases are ultimately resolved by a plea agreement, but I am an experienced trial lawyer who is not afraid of a fight. Prosecutors know my reputation for taking cases to trial, and I feel strongly that my reputation is an aid to my clients in dismissal and plea negotiations.
If this is your first offense and the item stolen was not of significant value, I may be able to negotiate a resolution that helps you avoid a criminal record. If such an agreement is not possible or if you face more serious charges that require an aggressive defense at trial, I will be thoroughly prepared to provide a vigorous defense on your behalf.
