Have You Been Accused Of Shoplifting In Eastern Connecticut?

Shoplifting is a larceny offense that involves theft from a retail store. Many people mistakenly believe shoplifting is a minor offense and getting caught will only have minor, temporary consequences. In fact, a shoplifting conviction can hamper you in many ways. Employers are often reluctant to hire anyone who has been convicted of shoplifting. A conviction could prevent you from getting accepted into schools and from finding housing and even getting a loan.

We understand the importance of limiting the damage this charge will have on your life. Whenever possible, we seek to get shoplifting charges dismissed outright. For first-time offenders, it is sometimes possible to get the charges dismissed in exchange for restitution and community service or by using a diversionary program. Even when the evidence is strong and the charges severe, we can employ proven defense strategies on your behalf.

    • "“ Thank God, I found an attorney who took the time to actually investigate the facts of the case”"
      In 2017, I acquired three felony charges against me that were pending investigation, after many court appearances a friend referred me to Attorney Jerome Paun who had the foresight to actually investigate the complete facts of the case and decided that a neutral district would be beneficial to our case. Attorney Paun with his expertise and caring attitude understood the immediate need to resolve the matter completely. Due to his outstanding perseverance and caring staff, my case was resolved in a very timely and efficient manner. He and his staff went above and beyond to help. I would highly recommend him if you seem to be in need of an attorney. “Thank you again”
