Re: shoplifting laws

It depends on the value of the items taken and if it is a first offense. Additionally, any prior offenses regardless if they are for shoplifting or not will increase a person's prior record score which will increase the sentencing guidlines available to the court. A good attorney is generally able to arrange alternative dispositions for first offenders. I offer free consultations. My contact information is in my profile.
