We look at more than the charge — we look at the circumstances behind it. Many theft and shoplifting cases happen in a moment of stress or poor judgment, and we believe the consequences should be proportional to what actually occurred.
If you've been charged with theft, we're ready to help.
FAQs
Common questions
How serious is a shoplifting charge in Utah?
It depends largely on the value involved — lower-value cases are misdemeanors, while higher-value or repeat cases can become felonies. The lasting record often matters more than the sentence.
Can a theft charge be kept off my record?
Possibly, through a negotiated resolution or later expungement if you're eligible. We'll look at the options for your specific case.
