Theft, Robbery and Burglary Defense in Atlantic County, NJ
Stealing a couple of dollars’ worth of merchandise from a store may start as a low-level offense, but can quickly escalate to severe charges. Making physical contact with a store employee and pushing past them as they try to stop you from leaving the store can enhance a simple theft to a second-degree robbery, carrying with it a five to ten-year state prison sentence with a period of 85% parole disqualification. In a similar vein, entering a structure, or even a motor vehicle, during a theft, even a minor one, will expose you to felony burglary charges.
I have handled hundreds of robberies, burglaries, and theft charges. From shoplifting gone wrong to full-on armed robberies, I am familiar with the legal defenses available to you in these types of charges. You must have an experienced attorney review your case and the evidence against you to ensure that your legal rights are protected.
