Theft Defense Lawyer in Saint Peters, MO

Theft Defense Overview

Facing a stealing charge in Saint Peters, Missouri? Need a theft crime defense lawyer in St. Charles County? You need the skill, experience and tenacity of Weber Law Firm, L.C. on your side.
 
Missouri punishes theft crimes severely. While shoplifting, larceny and theft are all considered criminal acts in any jurisdiction, Missouri takes a particularly hard stance against them. A pack of gum might only cost you a dollar, but if you are accused of shoplifting it, you could be facing a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Along with a conviction, of course, comes a criminal record. A criminal record can influence nearly every aspect of your life, affecting future housing, career and educational opportunities. Even seemingly minor theft crimes need the strong defense offered by Weber Law Firm, L.C.

Oftentimes, retailers would rather not deal with the hassle and paperwork of pursuing criminal charges against someone accused of stealing something of minimal monetary value. They might send you a letter offering to resolve the matter if you reimburse them for the costs incurred. You may be tempted to just negotiate with them directly in an attempt to put the whole matter behind you. That can prove disastrous, however.
 
Far from resolving the issue, if you accept responsibility and pay the retailer's costs, you may have just given them evidence of your guilt that could be used against you in a criminal trial. You need someone on your side that understands the nuances of both the criminal and civil justice systems. You need Weber Law Firm, L.C.
