Holiday shopping is a busy, bustling and stressful exercise, and it gets worse as Christmas approaches. Shoppers have hundreds of things on their minds while trying to get everything on their gift list at the best prices. In addition, stores and security personnel are on a heightened alert for shoplifting this time of year. Regardless of how you came to be accused, you need an experienced criminal attorney to protect your rights when shoplifting is the charge.

What if I’m Not Guilty?

Don’t simply act outraged and give in if you are not guilty. You are innocent until explicitly proven otherwise.
