In New Jersey, crimes involving the unlawful taking, use, possession or entry into the property of another carry serious consequences up to and including incarceration, deportation, loss of employment and a haunting criminal record. Shoplifting crimes carry mandatory jail terms for repeat offenders and burglary can be a 2nd degree offense carrying up to 10 years in prison. These offenses are considered crimes of moral turpitude. Once an individual is labeled as a thief, it is difficult to rehabilitate one's reputation

Preparing Your Best Defense
If you are facing charges for burglary, theft or shoplifting it is critical that you consult with an experienced attorney. Do not take your chances with these charges. We have the experience and resources to immediately begin preparing an effective defense in your matter which is just what you need because the government has begun to build a case against you before you were charged. At Heather J. Darling, Esq., LLC, we may defend your case in any number of ways by proving you did not have the requisite intent for a conviction, excluding evidence at trial based on a violation of your rights, or by arguing down the value of the stolen item so that you receive a lighter sentence.

We always strive to obtain a dismissal of all charges. If dismissal is not an option we are prepared to aggressively represent our client at trial.
