One of the most common offences that come before the court and police is shoplifting and other forms of theft. Much to the surprise of many, most people who are charged with theft have no prior involvement in the law and are often otherwise people of good character.
All too often people act our of impulse, poor judgment, or as a result of mental health. If you are one of the many people in Ontario charged with shoplifting or theft, you do not need to feel alone or embarrassed.
The criminal defence lawyers at Robichaud’s are able to help and set your mind at ease and do everything within their power and abilities to ensure you do not end up with a criminal record or worse.
The consequences of a criminal theft conviction can be severe.
There are many effects of a theft charge that may not be immediately apparent to someone unfamiliar with the law.
For example, individuals may be banned from certain premises under the Trespass to Property Act, or issued letters of demand from lawyers requesting payment for civil losses. Other consequences can include civil lawsuits, loss of employment, and even incarceration.
Before you act on any of these other issues, it is wise to contact an experienced lawyer to advise upon the best approach in addressing theft or fraud charges.
An experienced lawyer can assist you with the criminal charges of theft, as well as the other consequences that may come from being charged. In addition to valuable legal advice, a lawyer can also make best efforts to follow up with the charging police force to expunge criminal records and fingerprints if charges are withdrawn or a person is found not guilty of the offence.
There is no fraud or theft that is too big or small for our experienced lawyers to properly defend. As you can see by our proven track record below, it is not just about experience, but proven experience.
