Juvenile Shoplifting Attorneys

Retail fraud charges can lead to jail time, restitution, and fines in great excess of the value of property stolen. While juvenile offenders may be able to avoid jail time, there are still extremely serious penalties on the line in every Clinton shoplifting case. Work with an attorney to find out more about your unique case and the defense tactics that will be effective throughout your fight for justice.

Retail fraud charges, or “shoplifting” charges, don’t just result in cases where merchandise has been obviously stolen from a retail establishment. If a person removes a price tag, alters a price, or otherwise misrepresents the sale price of an item with intent to pay less than the actual amount for that item, they can still be charged with shoplifting. This is why in some cases defendants actually think they are innocent, since they haven’t stolen anything, when in actuality they are being accused of altering, removing, or transferring a price tag. Working with a lawyer who can help you understand exactly what you are being accused of and how Clinton law relates to those accusations will be of the utmost value as you prepare a potent defense.

Penalties for Juvenile Shoplifting in Michigan

While the penalties for retail fraud in any degree are extremely serious, sentencing in juvenile court often does not comply with these sentencing guidelines. In first-time offender cases, a release to parents, restitution, or probation of some form is likely. In more serious cases or repeat offender cases, confinement or placement is possible. Other sentencing options include diversion programs, which can lead to community service requirements and education programs, along with court-ordered counseling, and other alternatives.
