Theft Crimes
Criminal charges dealing with thefts are always serious. Even misdemeanor charges can have serious consequences that can follow you for decades.
Immediate consequences can include substantial fines, limitations to your freedom, jail or prison time, problems related to your job (especially if your job requires a professional license), and increased insurance premiums.
If you are the target of an investigation I can talk to the investigators or prosecutors and explain your situation.
It is far easier to convince a prosecutor not to file charges than to dismiss charges that have been filed.
If you have been charged with a crime call me right away so that we can assure your rights are protected from the start. We will start by assessing your situation and doing whatever damage control is possible.
Theft crimes vary widely and carry an array of serious punishments. Among the theft crimes I defend are:
Grand Theft (more than $300)
Grand Theft Auto
Petty Theft (item(s) less than $300 but Defendant has priors)
Receiving Stolen Property
Retail Theft or Shoplifting
Theft of Services
Issuing a Bad/Worthless Check
Identity Theft
Bribery
Counterfeiting
Embezzlement
Misuse of Public Funds
Welfare or Social Security Fraud
Serious Consequences
A jail term and/or fine for a theft crime, may be drastically increased if the theft was committed with a firearm or other weapon or if the theft resulted in an injury to another. The value of the property stolen also impacts the level of punishment. Also impacting the possible punishment are the age and/or the vulnerability of the victim, additionally, if you were in a position of trust at the time of the alleged offense.
Long-term consequences can involve extensive loss of freedom and a criminal record that has to be explained in a job search, a license renewal, or in security clearances Thefts are crimes of dishonesty and a conviction can be used to impeach your testimony if ever you became a witness in any trial or court hearing in the future. These are serious consequences and can effect your ability to get and / or keep a job.
