Fight Theft Charges

If you have been charged with theft, it is important to recognize the repercussions that a conviction could have on your life. Fines, restitution and incarceration are just the start.

What Have You Been Accused Of Stealing?

Theft charges, also known as larceny charges, come in many different forms. The potential penalties vary depending on what was allegedly stolen and its value. Allegations involving theft of low-dollar items may be charged as low-level misdemeanors with small fines, while cases involving high-dollar items may be charged as felonies with large fines and incarceration. We handle cases involving anything from shoplifting or retail theft to theft by fraud or embezzlement. We also handle related charges such as burglary of a building, burglary of a habitation, burglary of a vehicle and robbery.

There are a wide range of defense strategies available. It is possible for a person to make a mistake and violate a law that leads to theft charges. In these cases, we may argue lack of intent. In other cases, there may have been an error made on the part of law enforcement, and no theft actually occurred. When appropriate, we will investigate the case and review the evidence to determine whether there are any flaws. If the case hinges on video evidence of the alleged theft, we will attack the video. Does it show the accused's face? Is it clear? This is just one example of methods that can be used to pursue evidence being thrown out.
