Florida Retail Theft and Shoplifting Defense Attorneys
Protecting Your Rights and Freedom
Don't take chances with your legal rights following charges of retail theft or shoplifting. Even seemingly minor theft offenses may result in serious consequences.
A theft conviction for property valued at over $300 may result in felony charges, which carry a potential penalty of five years in prison. Additionally, repeat offenses can lead to enhanced penalties. Often, alleged offenders are surprised to learn that just one or two garments or other items can add to a felony-level theft.
Have you been accused of shoplifting? Protect your rights and contact the Kramer Law Firm or call us at 866.716.4288 or 407.641.0268.
In addition to jail or prison, a theft conviction can have a number of legal and collateral consequences, such as:
- Fines and restitution
- Probation
- The revocation or suspension of your driver's license
- Limited employment opportunities
- Denial of admission to a university
- Denial or revocation of a professional license
- Denial of an apartment lease or other property rental
