Facing charges for a theft crime can be intimidating and have serious consequences. Whether you’re accused of shoplifting, burglary, grand theft, or identity theft, a conviction can lead to jail time, fines, and a permanent criminal record. We understand how overwhelming this situation can be, and we’re committed to providing a strong defense to protect your rights and future.
Understanding Theft Crimes
Theft crimes involve taking someone else’s property without permission, with the intent to permanently deprive them of it. These charges can range from misdemeanors to felonies depending on the value of the property and the circumstances of the incident. Common theft charges include:
-
- Petty Theft: Stealing property of low value, such as shoplifting.
- Grand Theft: Taking property of high value, which is usually charged as a felony.
- Burglary: Entering a building or vehicle with the intent to commit theft or another felony.
- Robbery: Using force or intimidation to take property from another person.
- Identity Theft: Using someone else’s personal information for financial gain.
- Embezzlement: Misappropriating funds or property entrusted to you, such as by an employer.
These offenses carry serious penalties, including jail or prison time, fines, probation, and restitution to the victim. A conviction can also result in a permanent criminal record, impacting your job prospects, housing opportunities, and reputation.
Serious Consequences Require Serious Defense
A theft conviction can follow you for life, limiting your ability to secure employment, obtain professional licenses, or even rent a home. In addition to legal penalties, the social stigma associated with theft crimes can affect your personal relationships and community standing.
