A conviction of a theft related crime would have a negative impact on your life. Theft crimes are considered crimes of moral turpitude. These types of crimes can make it difficult in gaining future employment, denial of certain student loans and disqualification from other financial opportunities.

Many people who are charged with retail fraud are good people who made a poor choice.

Many people call my office and explain that they can’t believe they are being charged with a crime, how embarrassed they are, and now they have to go to court for the first time ever.
