What to do if You are Accused of Shoplifting

Friday, October 29th, 2010

You would be surprised at how many people get caught shoplifting each year in the United States. Most people, when children, probably sneaked a candy bar or tube of lipstick into their pocket, but if they were caught by their parents, they most surely had to return to the store, admit their crime, and face the consequences (usually minimal when it’s a child and a low-priced item).

A surprising number of adults shoplift daily in the United States, and though not considered a serious crime, it can certainly ruin your reputation, result in jail time, and cause you to pay a substantial fine. However, if you have an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side, such as Anthony Carbone, serving Newark, Jersey City and surrounding areas, you may be able to have this embarrassing lapse in judgment disappear forever.

If you are accused of shoplifting, you may not know that storeowners and store managers really are not allowed to “hold” you (or detain you). If they do this, they can be charged with false arrest, false imprisonment, and even assault. Many people who are caught shoplifting just assume they have to sit in that back room and wait for the police to arrive, but that is not always the case. While the law varies from state to state and from case to case, shoplifters actually do have some legal rights.

An experienced shoplifting and criminal defense lawyer, such as Anthony Carbone, can explain your rights to you during a confidential consultation. Shoplifting is an embarrassing offense that can ruin your career and your reputation.

If you have been caught shoplifting in Newark, Jersey City, or a surrounding area of New Jersey, please contact the Law Offices of Anthony Carbone, P.C. today to schedule a confidential consultation. After hearing the details of your case, Mr. Carbone will work on your defense and advise you of your chances for a dismissal of the charge or at least minimize your punishment.

How to Deal with Traffic Violations

Friday, October 29th, 2010

Traffic violations can be minor such as unsafe lane change, minor speeding, or failure to yield the right of way. Other violations such as Driving Under the Influence (DUI) can be felonies and result in jail time and large fines. If you have been cited for a traffic violation, you need to do your homework and then decide if you need the assistance of an attorney who handles these types of cases.

If you receive a minor infraction, it may just be best to pay the fine or show up in court to try to get the points and/or fine reduced, but if you are facing a serious moving violation, or if you have more than one moving violation on your driving record, you may want to seek out the legal assistance of a qualified traffic violations attorney such as Anthony Carbone, serving Jersey City, Newark, and surrounding areas of New Jersey. Mr. Carbone has handled thousands of these cases in his twenty years of practice, and he may be able to get your citation reduced or thrown out altogether.

If you are pulled over, our main suggestion is to be polite and cooperative. If you are belligerent, defensive, or angry, then you will only complicate manners. You should be respectful of the officer who pulled you over, but you are entitled to ask questions and request information such as if you were speeding and how your speed determined (laser, radar, etc.). You should also examine your citation for any inaccuracies. Before deciding if you should just pay the fine, or if you should go to court to “fight” the ticket, you should consult an experienced traffic violations lawyer such as Mr. Carbone.

For over twenty years, Anthony Carbone has helped the residents of New Jersey avoid hefty fines and even jail time for traffic violations. If you are a repeat offender, you really should contact Mr. Carbone to get his advice on what to do with your ticket. He knows New Jersey traffic law inside and out and has the knowledge, experience, and resources to advise you on how best to proceed to minimize your punishment.

If you live in Newark, Jersey City, or a surrounding area of New Jersey, please contact the Law Offices of Anthony Carbone, P.C. to schedule a consultation to discuss the details of your traffic violation.
