Have You Been Charged With Shoplifting in New York?
In New York, shoplifting is considered petit larceny if the amount alleged to have been stolen is less than $1,000. If the amount is $1,000 or greater, it can be charged as grand larceny, a felony.
In defending clients against shoplifting charges, we examine all potential defenses, searching for evidence from surveillance cameras, eyewitness testimony, police reports and other sources. Many times, our investigations uncover evidence that clears our clients from culpability. In addition to defending these cases on the merits, we have also been successful in obtaining favorable results based upon a person's background and psychiatric history.
