Theft, Fraud and Credit Card Offences

Shoplifting
This is the most common type of theft in the criminal courts. If you have no record, the chance of being sentenced to jail is virtually non-existent. Nonetheless, a conviction for theft will leave you with a criminal record which may impact your ability to travel or secure certain types of employment. There are other types of resolutions that can avoid your ending up with a criminal record. It is important to speak to a criminal lawyer before pleading guilty.

Theft from Employer
This is considered a serious form of theft because of the nature of the relationship between an employee and an employer. A theft from an employer involves a breach of trust and quite often the prosecution will seek a jail sentence. To avoid that consequence it is imperative that you consult counsel and obtain advice on how such a charge can be defended.

Credit Card Offences
These offences are specialized property related offences. Quite often the evidence obtained by police is circumstantial and can be successfully challenged. Even in less serious cases, prosecutors often ask the courts to impose jail sentences simply because the aggregate losses to credit card companies are significant. Since every case is different a free consultation with one of the lawyers at 30 Queen St. N. will help to minimize your jeopardy.
