Pennsylvania Attorney for Shoplifting Charges
Most people do not realize that a conviction for any retail theft — no matter how small the value of the item alleged to be taken — may result in a permanent criminal record. Your fingerprints will be documented, your picture may be taken, and future employers may always be able to see that you were found guilty of a theft crime. Young people, especially, may find that shoplifting charges put their dreams of becoming teachers, lawyers or police officers at stake.
That is why, if you have been accused of shoplifting, it is critical to take action and work with an experienced criminal defense lawyer. To get started, contact the Glenside, Pennsylvania, law offices of me — Michael F. Dunn, Attorney at Law — at 215-392-4361 or by completing my online contact form.

Keeping Shoplifting Charges off Your Criminal Record
I have been representing clients since 1980 and use my experience, knowledge and skills to help people throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania achieve the best possible results. This may mean negotiating with prosecutors to have shoplifting charges dismissed after a community service requirement. It may also mean having the charges changed to another charge — like disorderly conduct — which may not have the permanent effect on your record. It may also mean taking your shoplifting case to trial seeking a "not guilty" verdict.
