Charged with retail fraud in Michigan?
We can apply The New Rules of Criminal Defense by making a decision to compete in a strategic manner, and acknowledge that retail is a serious allegation and charge in Michigan. When charged, the truth does not initially matter; many people charged with retail fraud don't realize just how big of a problem it is in our society. They view the store they stole from as big, corporate and greedy, and they won't miss the items stolen, because they need them more.
The needs to get out of the box and avoid having a fixed mindset or being angry or afraid of what happened; there is no saying sorry or wishing you paid; the incident is now in the past, move forward and adopt a growth mindset.
I've never had a client tell me that they didn't have the money to pay; 100 percent of my clients who I work with have jobs, families, and the ability to pay for items. I find that clients steal because they are screaming out for help but don't realize it; they feel underappreciated and overworked, and not caring for themselves.
We need to change the culture of a retail fraud charge, and adopt core values as we work toward complex change of the circumstances. We need to identify our stakeholders and shareholders with the judge, prosecutor, police, probation and the lost prevent officers and store employees playing a role; you will identify those in your life that this case could impact if you're sent to jail or have to live with a criminal record.
A client balance sheet will cover a client's past, present and contain all of the assets we are going to create in the client value chain. When working on a retail fraud case, we need to work on the WHY; why did we put our whole life in jeopardy over a few groceries or some makeup; items we could have paid for, but we chose not to do so.
We need to measure success and rebrand the case; turn the case from a theft crime to a moment in time to get your life on track; to build toward an outcome where stakeholders become shareholders, and we are able to get everyone on board with a potential dismissal and a path to not having a criminal record.
