  • Some charges of petit theft, retail theft, and comparable property crimes result from misunderstandings or mistaken identity.
  • Through Mr. Burns’ skilled representation, it may be possible to clear you of the charges entirely or to negotiate a far preferable alternative to prosecution, such as restitution and probation with the opportunity to keep your record clean.

Anyone can give in to a sudden impulse and make a mistake. What matters most if you have been charged with a criminal offense ranging from shoplifting to auto theft or larceny is what you do next. Giving up and accepting whatever consequences come your way could be a decision you regret for the rest of your life.
