"What Is Retail Theft?"

Retail theft is theft that most often occurs within a place of business that sells goods to the public. This type of allegation is often made toward customers, but in some cases, employees can be implicated, as well. The severity of these accusations often depends on the value of the merchandise that was allegedly stolen.

Retail theft charges can involve:

  • Shoplifting (leaving the store with concealed items without paying)
  • Retaining rented property after the lease period has expired
  • Switching tags on merchandise
  • Returning merchandise that originated elsewhere to receive cash
  • "Under-ringing" (ringing up merchandise for a lower price)

At The Law Offices of David Lee, our team has insight into what prosecutors are looking for in these cases and how to find shortcomings in the state's case against our clients. Not every lawyer has the skill and the experience represent you effectively and it's crucial to have a lawyer well-versed in criminal defense and courtroom litigation.
