Dedicated to Clearing Your Name

Shoplifting charges are often simple misunderstandings. You may have placed an item on the bottom of your shopping cart, and forgotten to pay for it at the checkout counter. Sometimes clients try on an item of clothing, forget they have it on, and are arrested outside the store.
Attorney Lauren Cain has a strategy for clients accused of shoplifting: go to trial or get the best deal possible. Depending on the circumstances of the alleged crime, we can seek probation followed by nondisclosure, which seals your record.
It may be possible to resolve your case in as little as six months if you are prepared to pay fines quickly and follow the court's orders to the letter. In that situation, a judge will usually sign an early release of probation, essentially sealing the file.
