Common Questions
Shoplifting charge questions Rexdale clients often ask.
Can a shoplifting charge affect immigration?
It can. Non-citizens should get advice before resolving the case or making statements about the charge.
What if my work schedule conflicts with court?
Court dates still matter, so scheduling concerns should be planned early.
Should I pay a civil recovery letter?
Get advice first. Payment does not automatically end the criminal charge.
