shoplifting lawyer
My daughter got caught shoplifting recently and I need to know if there are shoplifting lawyers or is there some other defense?
I don't know why she did it. In fact, She has NO idea why she did it. So she says, anyway. I am both furious at her and scared that a trifling bit of stupidity will ruin her entire life. Can anyone suggest a course of action?
Thank you!

Call your local Bar Association; they can refer you to a Lawyer(s) who have experience in Juvenile Criminal Law.
If this is a first offense a guilty plea and Probation before Justice may be something the Prosecutor will go for. Restitution will have to be made as well.
Best thing is to find a lawyer who can help you a listen to what they advice.

I'm not sure if they have "shoplifting" lawyers but I do know they also have public defenders which are supposedly cheaper than a lawyer and almost just as good.
Depending on her age and the state she lives in If she is a minor it shouldn't be on her permanent record. As I speak from plenty of juvenile experiences I believe once she hits 18 her record is cleared of juvenile defenses but if she screws up again once she is an adult she will be hitting some serious trouble. If she is a minor at this time then she might get a break depending on how bad the charges are she could be facing possible community service, Juvenile or even a fat fine.

It's hard to answer this question without a few pieces of important information.
Shoplifting laws vary from state to state, and only a lawyer will be able to provide the most accurate information.
A lot depends on how old your daughter is, the value of what she stole, her criminal background, etc. Suggesting a course of action is difficult without this information.
