Shoplifting and Theft Attorney in Louisville, Kentucky

Shoplifting and theft cases are treated very seriously by Kentucky prosecutors. What clients fail to realize is the consequences of a plea to a theft charge. Some clients are under the mistaken impression that they can same money by representing themselves on theft and bad check charges and avoid paying a lawyer fee. The defendant believes that they can pay restitution and court costs and the case is over with. The glaring flaw to this approach is the failure of the defendant to realize all the collateral consequences of pleading to a bad check or theft charge.

Most employers require a background check for all job applications or for those employees seeking a promotion. Most Human Resource Managers will admit that companies will not consider hiring applicants with a criminal record that includes crimes of theft, drug or alcohol abuse, or crimes of violence. Saving a few hundred dollars in attorney fees will often costs clients thousands of dollars a year in potential income. Experience criminal defense attorneys will work to avoid a conviction by seeking alternative resolution to the case including formal and informal diversion programs. Unless you are an experienced lawyer, you do not know all the alternatives available to the prosecutor and court.
