Types of Theft Charges
Petty theft is a less severe charge and considered a misdemeanor, leading to various penalties, fines, probation, and sometimes jail.

Client Reviews
I'm fortunate to have known Tarek for a very long time. He's very sharp, trustworthy, and quick witted. When I needed legal guidance, I turned to Tarek and I couldn’t have been happier. I recommend him to anyone!

Tarek is a former colleague of mine and an excellent attorney. He is very skilled inside the courtroom and compassionate towards his clients. I highly recommend Tarek.

False Allegations Dismissed – Tarek has been supportive from the start and is very well versed on the legal system, from the jail house to the DAs office and the courtroom. Tarek and his staff worked diligently to do everything necessary to prove my brothers innocence after 2 counts against him. His case got dismissed. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!

Absolutely recommend this gentlemen for your legal inquiries. I needed advice and Tarek was a delight to speak with, extremely knowledgeable and a professional. Thanks again, Tarek.

Mr. Shawky helped me out in such an incredible way. I was facing multiple criminal charges for a crime I did not commit. Mr. Shawky stood by my side every step of the way. At the end, Mr. Shawky was able to fight for me and get everyone of my charges dismissed. I would refer everyone I know to this great professional!

Amazing job by an amazing lawyer. Took care of my case and had it dismissed without even having to go to trial! I recommend Tarek Shawky to anyone that needs an experienced lawyer!

Mr. Shawky was very polite, helpful, and down to earth. I felt very comfotable talking with him and he answered all my questions. Thanks, Tarek!

Smart, Kind, and a Winner. Most attorneys come across as either smart jerks who will get you what you want, but you will hate dealing with them, or they are nice but not very good at getting you what you want. Tarek is a rare breed. After explaining my story to him, I felt instantly understood and respected.

Mr. Shawky is a knowledgeable and skilled criminal defense attorney. He truly cares about his clients and makes every effort to get them the best possible result. He is a zealous advocate and has great reputation in the legal community. I endorse this lawyer.
