Pasadena Retail Theft Defense Attorneys
Shoplifting might not seem like a major offense, until you are suddenly facing misdemeanor charges because the store has a policy to prosecute. Don't think that a misdemeanor theft charge is no big deal. The truth is, a conviction for shoplifting or other types of petty theft will remain on your record for years. Future employers will think that you cannot be trusted with their money or their property.
