Diversion for Woman Charged with Retail Theft
Jun 25 2018, by in Case Results, TheftWhen a 47-year-old woman was charged with retail theft, she turned to Philadelphia criminal defense attorney Michael Fienman. Once retained, attorney Fienman negotiated for the best possible outcome. This led to a $200 fine and her participation in a summary diversion class. Once the terms of the agreement are completed, the charge becomes eligible for expungement. This spared the woman from a potentially haunting theft conviction following her for the rest of her life.
The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
