Kane County Retail Theft Defense Attorney

Shoplifting Defense Lawyer in Elgin, Illinois
Many people think of shoplifting as a minor crime that comes with little more than a slap on the wrist. If you are caught stealing from a retail store, however, you could be facing some extremely serious consequences. In cases where the total value of the merchandise taken has a value of more than $300, you could be charged with a felony offense.
Any retail theft conviction can follow you for the rest of your life and have a severe impact on your future. It is important that you take these matters seriously and have an experienced Elgin retail theft defense lawyer beside you from the start. I am Elgin, IL retail theft attorney Brian J. Mirandola; I provide sound representation to people charged with any type of retail theft offense.
Skilled Illinois Theft Defense
Most people who are charged with retail theft are initially stopped by the store's loss prevention or security personnel. In some cases, an overzealous security officer will stop a person when no theft has actually occurred. When you hire my firm, I review all of the evidence, including loss prevention reports, police reports, and surveillance videos.
If the evidence does not add up to the accusations you are facing, I will work to have the charges dropped or dismissed. If the case appears to have merit, I will negotiate with the prosecutors to minimize the impact of the charges. As a dedicated Elgin, IL retail theft attorney, I pursue every possible option in an effort to avoid a conviction, including supervision or other alternatives.

I found Brian Mirandola by luck the first time I needed representation for a couple of traffic citations. I was impressed by the genuine high regard both the prosecutors as well as the judge had for him. The outcome in that case exceeded my expectations. The second time I worked with Brian I needed representation on a potential drivers license revocable offense. End result...seat belt violation. Brian is a nice guy and he charged me fairly. If you're going to spend the money on legal representation, get someone who knows what they are doing. I personally can't imagine calling anyone else if I were to have another legal issue.

I was very satisfied with the service I received from Brian Mirandola as my attorney.
I had been convicted of a DUI years ago and already been turned down for driving relief. He helped me make sure I had all my documents together. He help me understand the type of question that may be asked so I would be a lot more comfortable at the formal hearing. I have been granted driving privileges! I highly recommend Brian Mirandola as an attorney!- - Sincerely Michael Koonce
