A Fort Worth Criminal Law Lawyer With 15 Years of Experience
A conviction for a shoplifting charge can carry with it substantial consequences and penalties, particularly if the amount shoplifted exceeds the $1500 threshold of a felony. As with conviction for any theft crime or crime of moral turpitude, the results can include substantial fines, jail time, a permanent criminal record and other penalties.
