Shoplifting Defense Attorney Lawrenceville

Question: I was caught shoplifting from a department store and paid the civil demands that same night i was never hand cuffed or arrested. I was given a citation and court date from a cop. When i went to court they put me in a diversion plan and said the incident will be expunged from my record. They finger printed me and took my picture. My problem is that now the picture is online on a mugs website posted by them saying i was arrested but i wasn't and its causing me to lose my job. Is this right?

Answer: Is what right? You shoplifted and were caught. If you lose your job, it is because you shoplifted and were caught, not because your photo appeared online with a statement that you were arrested. Assume it is not right, what do you intend to do? Retain an attorney? I suspect that you don't respect the advice of an attorney, which is why you handled the case by yourself. Goodl luck.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
