Home Depot is definitely a major player when it comes to shoplifting charges in Monmouth County. It has a home improvement center located in West Long Branch, Neptune, Howell, Freehold, Hazlet and Marlboro. Logic suggests that you were arrested and charged with shoplifting at one of these stores given the nature of your research. There are a number of things our attorneys think you should know about a Home Depot shoplifting offense. First, there are strict guidelines against plea bargaining in retail theft cases which prevent the court or prosecutor from downgrading a N.J.S.A. 2C:20-11 charge absent a bona fide defense to the offense. The second thing you should know is that the consequences of a conviction are serious since they involve a criminal record for stealing and expose you to potential incarceration. Hiring a skilled lawyer is precisely what you need to ensure that you have every opportunity to avoid these ramifications. The lawyers at the Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall have decades of experience battling shoplifting charges in municipal courts throughout Monmouth County, in addition to the Superior Court in Freehold New Jersey.
