If you are arrested for shoplifting, can the store keep items of yours that did not come from their store?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Larry K. Dunn (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Weo Office Suites, LLC
The store is not entitled to retain any property not belonging to the store. The police are allowed to retain property which may be used as evidence even if the items were from a different store. A lawyer may advise a person to consider a plea if the risk of conviction, even if the person did not actually commit the crime, at trial could result in a harsh penalty.

Can the police search a vehicle after the owner denied permission to search the vehicle?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Austin M Hirschhorn (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Hirschhorn, P.C.
If the police have "probable cause" they can search a vehicle after the owner has denied the police request for permission to search the vehicle. To justify the search there must be something about the content of the vehicle that triggered the request to search otherwise the police could have impounded the vehicle and obtained a warrant to conduct the search. If your defense attorney does not think there was probable cause for a search that issue should be raised at the preliminary hearing. You don't indicate why the vehicle was stopped or what, if anything, was found as a result of the search. Without more information it is impossible for me to give you a proper answer to your question.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
