Retail Theft Shoplifting Defense Weston, CT

Weston, Connecticut Criminal Defense Attorneys Will Protect Your Constitutional Rights

Connecticut Criminal Defense Law Firm Concentrates on Shoplifting Charges

With the growth of electronic surveillance and video footage taken in malls, department stores, and shopping outlets throughout the state of Connecticut, retail theft and shoplifting (referred to as larceny) are being brought more and more frequently.

Penalties for Larceny in Connecticut

The penalties for larceny in Connecticut are serious, and range from minimal fines and probation for minor offenses to up to 20 years in jail for felony larceny charges. Restitution, or the compensation of the victim, is a major negotiating point in almost every larceny case, as the amount that is fair and reasonable is often in dispute.

The negotiating skills of a criminal defense attorney are typically a defendant's best chance at a satisfactory resolution. The criminal defense attorneys at the Law Offices of Mark M. Kratter, LLC are experienced negotiators, committed to defending larceny cases and achieving the most favorable result possible for clients.

Our attorneys will also explore alternatives to trial, and work hard to get your retail theft or shoplifting case dismissed. One option is Connecticut's Accelerated Rehabilitation program – if you qualify for this program and comply with its requirements, the court will eventually dismiss your case entirely.
