SHOPLIFTING - COMMERCIAL BURGLARY EXPUNGEMENT
Criminal Defense Expungement Lawyer serving Southern California, including Los Angeles County, Orange County, Santa Barbara County, San Bernardino County and San Diego County.
Over the last five years, more than 10 million people have been caught shoplifting, or stealing from a store. Most shoplifting crimes committed by both adults and juvenile offenders are not premeditated, or planned in advance. In California, shoplifting can be charged as petty theft or grand theft, depending upon the value of the stolen property.
Petty Theft – Value of stolen goods is over $50 and less than $400 and is charged as a second-degree theft, a misdemeanor, which can be punishable by up to a $1,000 fine, up to 6 months in county jail, and restitution.
Grand Theft – Value of stolen goods is more than $400 and is charged as a first-degree theft, a felony, which can be punishable by up to 1 year in county jail or state prison and restitution.
Approximately 25 percent of shoplifters are juveniles, 75 percent are adults. Over half of adult shoplifters say they began shoplifting as teenagers. (The National Association for Shoplifting Prevention)
Premeditated larceny, or theft, committed in a merchant establishment, such as a department store, convenience store, gas station, grocery store or market, or other commercial establishment is considered Commercial Burglary. When an individual enters any shop, warehouse, or store with the specific intent to commit grand theft or petty theft, or to commit any felony, they have committed burglary (Penal Code 459). In such cases, the State must prove premeditated intent to convict an individual of commercial burglary.
If you have been arrested, charged and convicted of Shoplifting or Commercial Burglary as a felony or misdemeanor, either as an adult or juvenile offender in Southern California, a qualified Expungement attorney may be able to help you seal or clear your criminal record. Expungement is the legal process of clearing your criminal record.
You may qualify for a criminal records Expungement in Southern California if you were charged with a misdemeanor of petty theft or commercial burglary as an adult California resident or in a California Juvenile court, and:
- You have successfully completed your probation sentence, or had no probation requirements and it has been at least 365 days since your plea of guilty was entered.
- All of your California court mandated fines, fees and restitutions have been paid.
- You are not currently serving a probation sentence and no new criminal cases pending.
The same rules apply to a felony grand theft charge as long as you were granted probation. If you were convicted of a felony with probation granted, it may be possible to have the felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor, which can then be sealed or cleared from your criminal record. See our Expungement FAQ for more information.
If you are currently serving a probation sentence, an experienced Expungement attorney may be able to help to you obtain an early termination of probation.
An important benefit of having your criminal record cleared of a shoplifting or commercial burglary conviction is that you can honestly state during job interviews or on employment applications for private companies that you have no criminal convictions.
