Man Caring For His Mother Avoids Theft Conviction With Diversion Class

Recently, in Delaware, Ohio a man in his 40’s, who came to America from India was at a pharmacy picking up some medications for his ailing mother. He was preoccupied with his mother’s medical condition when he mistakenly left the store without paying for the medications. As a result of this lapse, the man was charged with shoplifting. The man was not a United States citizen at the time and knew his goal of obtaining citizenship would be halted by a theft conviction on his record. He was unsure of how to handle this unfortunate situation and turned to Luftman, Heck & Associates for legal assistance.

Attorney Joseph Kunkel argued on behalf of his client and after strategic negotiations with Delaware County prosecutors, Attorney Kunkel was able to enroll his client into a diversionary program that included an anti-shoplifting course and 20 hours of community service. In the end, after being spared a theft conviction, the man was able to become a citizen and continue caring for his mother.
