If you are under arrest, the first thing you need to do is talk to your lawyer. You can call or e-mail our law firm 24 hours a day, seven days a week and get a prompt response. Do not try to explain your actions to a law enforcement officer, a security guard, or a prosecutor. They are not on your side. We are on your side.

• No matter what the charges—theft, burglary, shoplifting, petty theft (under $400), grand theft (over $400), auto theft, embezzlement, employee theft, burglary, joyriding, extortion, identity theft, fraud, or any other theft charge—our theft defense lawyers have the experience to help you.
• Did you intend to steal? You may have placed something in a pocket and forgotten about it. No matter what your intentions, however, you should have a shoplifting defense attorney who can explain the situation and make sure your actions are seen in the best possible light.
• For many people, a shoplifting or burglary arrest brings out a psychological problem that is better dealt with outside the criminal justice system. Tell us about your arrest and the circumstances that led to your actions. Everything you tell your lawyer is confidential.
• Felony or misdemeanor? Petty theft or grand theft? While any conviction on your criminal record can lead to problems with employment or with professional licenses, your theft defense lawyer may be able to negotiate a lesser charge.
• Could the merchant drop all charges? We have resolved many cases by simply explaining the circumstances to the merchant. A civil compromise may end the matter. Contact us so that we can begin the process of helping you.

If you have been arrested for theft, or if you are under investigation for embezzlement or fraud, do not talk to anyone until you have talked to a criminal defense lawyer at Takakjian, Sowers & Sitkoff LLP.
