Retail Theft Charges Dismissed and Expunged

A college student was caught stealing makeup from Walmart and was charged with retail theft. Although she was financially stable, the young woman suffered from depression and anxiety.

A criminal record could hurt her future opportunities when she was already struggling as is. Chester County defense attorney Michael Skinner successfully argued for rehabilitation instead of punishment. The client completed a retail theft program and began seeing a therapist. Satisfied by her initiative, the judge and court agreed to dismiss the retail theft charges and expunge them from her record.
