The recent economic times have affected everyone, sometimes making it seem impossible to make ends meet. People across Central Florida in Orange, Lake, Osceola, Seminole, and Brevard counties are all struggling to maintain a normal lifestyle for themselves and their families. Unfortunately for parents trying to provide for their children, or whose son or daughter is struggling to keep up with the tough demands of being a teenager, prices for everyday items such as clothing, jewelry, bags, shoes, make up, etc. have not decreased. It becomes harder and harder for individuals to pay for these necessities, so that a mother, father, daughter, or son now feels compelled to shoplift.
Kohl's department stores everywhere are increasing security to prevent shoplifting, with video surveillance, clerk monitoring, anti-theft tags, and security scanners at the entrances and exits of every Kohl's store. With a Kohl's located in almost every major city such as Orlando, Sanford, Kissimmee, Oviedo, Clermont, and many others, this problem may be affecting you.
Have you received a summons to appear or been arrested for petit theft or grand theft?
A notice to appear can be used in a civil suit which can end up costing much more than the value of what was allegedly taken and if you are charged criminally with theft the legal process can be very confusing and frightening, especially for a first time offender. With penalties ranging from expensive fines, community service, and jail time, the consequences can be very serious, which is why it is essential that you find representation that is not only competent, but experienced. If you have been arrested for petit or grand theft our experienced theft attorneys and lawyers can help. Our attorneys will work diligently to help you through this difficult process counseling you, working with opposing counsel, and possibly even avoiding trial altogether by getting you into a pre-trial diversion program, keeping your record clean.
