Ann Arbor Retail Fraud Lawyer

9/3/2013

 
Many clients call me about retail fraud cases in Ann Arbor.  I see a lot of cases originating out of Briarwood Mall, Whole Foods, Target and Meijer.  As a former prosecutor who has handled many retail fraud cases in Michigan, I usually tell my clients that Michigan retail fraud cases are probably one of the lowest priority cases for a prosecutor in Michigan.  Not that these cases aren't important, but the victim is usually a business, and nobody is at risk of being hurt.  Sure prices may go up because of shoplifting, and companies suffer an economic harm, but a prosecutor is not going to get emotionally involved in someone stealing a DVD from Target.  A prosecutor is not going to simply dismiss this case, because they are generally straight forward prosecutions, but there won't be much resistance in a non-jail negotiation, and a possible first offender program.

If you've been charged with retail fraud in Michigan, and you're considering hiring an attorney, give me a call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 248-924-9458 to discuss your options going forward.
