Joliet - Will County, Theft Crimes Lawyer

 

An arrest for shoplifting outside of a store is a public embarrassment for many people who come to Attorney Muñoz. A simple misunderstanding resulted in the police detaining the alleged theft suspects. More serious theft, burglary and armed robbery cases are not as clear cut as law enforcement would have you believe.

Joliet Shoplifting Defense Attorneys Protecting Your Rights

 

Important questions must be posed while building a strong criminal defense. How was the so-called culprit caught? How did the arrest occur? Did police follow proper procedures? Did a traffic stop or search and seizure turn up other items from the store or even drugs? Were there any eyewitnesses?

 

We know what is at stake for our clients. Misdemeanors are charged at less than $300 for regular theft or $150 for retail theft, also known as shoplifting. Armed robbery and residential burglary are considered felony charges that could lead to significant prison sentences.

 

Prison and serious fines are not the only option or outcome to a conviction. Court supervision and Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities (TASC) programs are meant to minimize penalties and deal with issues that led an individual to commit a theft-related crime. Our Joliet theft crimes attorneys can help you fight for the best outcome.
