ARIZONA SHOPLIFTING CRIME LAWS

If you have been caught shoplifting or stealing something, and charged with theft in Arizona, chances are you are humiliated and regret the actions that led you to this point.  Once you get over the initial embarrassment, you may experience a huge amount of stress.  In fact, facing criminal charges is not an easy thing and you have every right to be frightened of the potential outcome.

Or you may be wrongfully accused of shoplifting.  It can often be a mistaken charge.  For example, it is very possible that you meant to pay but simply forgot, or you were with someone else who stole something, and you were also charged with theft.

We understand that you are in a tough situation, and need some advice and help to figure out how to defend yourself and fix the situation.  And the stakes are high… you can face serious penalties, fines, and even jail time for a theft offense.  Not to mention the risk and consequences of getting stuck with a permanent criminal record that can follow you for life.

Shoplifting in Arizona is a Theft Crime.  Additionally, shoplifting charges also automatically become more serious if you are caught using tools to defeat theft prevention devices, or if you are charged with organized retail theft, meaning you were working with others to steal items for profit.

Arizona Criminal Defense Lawyers Defend Shoplifting Charges

However, in all likelihood, if you are charged with simple theft by shoplifting and are convicted or enter a plea, you probably will receive only community service and fines, as long as the value is low and it’s a first or second offense.  However, you are still stuck with a permanent criminal record which may never go away.

The fact of a permanent, public criminal record is the reason why most people hire a shoplifting defense attorney to fight the charges.  Avoiding a criminal record in the internet age can save you tremendous headaches in the future.  It could prevent you from getting a job, renting an apartment, getting a scholarship, or worse.

In addition, shoplifting charges can have lasting effects on your personal, financial and legal future.
