Lawrence Township Shoplifting Attorney
Shoplifting is an offense that is often underestimated. It is too uncommon for our lawyers to be confronted with someone who is facing jail time or serious immigration consequences because they make the mistake of trying to handle a shoplifting charge without a highly qualified private attorney. We strongly encourage you to reconsider your decision if you are contemplating appearing in Lawrence or, worse yet, at the Superior Court in Trenton, without a skilled lawyer. This is a foolish lapse in judgement that can end up making a bad situation worse. Take advantage of a free consultation to discuss your PCPenney case with a lawyer before your status and record is potentially compromised. Attorneys are available now at (609) 799-8100.
