Free theft under $5000 and shoplifting lawyer consultation

If you have been charged with theft under $5000 as a result of a shoplifting related incident or otherwise we provide a free telephone consultation to determine the likelihood of you:

1. going to jail or being placed on house arrest or probation


2. receiving a permanent criminal record as a result of the charges


3. having immigration problems with the IRCC if you are not a Canadian Citizen


4. having the charges show up on employment background checks and screenings including those used in vulnerable sector professions (normally teachers, caregivers, early childhood educators, and healthcare sector workers like PSWs and RNs who work with children, the elderly, and the mentally handicapped)


5. encountering problems with professional regulatory bodies such as the College of Physicians and Surgeons, the College of Nurses (CNO), Professional Engineers Ontario (POE), Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO), OMVIC, and other regulatory bodies including those relating to financial, banking and securities


6. having problems travelling to the United States and other countries in the future

When you call us for a free consultation we will ask you very direct questions about your history, background, and what exactly happened so that we can give you our opinion on your case along with what fee we would charge to represent you. Every case is different and will require differing amounts of time to complete. Our lawyer aims to provide the most affordable legal representation for charges of theft under $5000, shoplifting and other associated offences.

In order to quote you our fee we must understand you and your case. This is the purpose of the free consultation. As we are not retained to represent you at the consultation stage we cannot provide you with specific legal advice, but we can tell you what the issues are and whether or not we can help you resolve them.

In theft under $5000 and shoplifting related cases problems associated with criminal records, immigration, background checks and travel can be avoided if upfront steps are taken to mitigate the risks involved.
