Aggressively Defending Accusations of Theft
No matter what type theft crime accusation you are facing, we're ready to help:
- Shoplifting: Taking items out of the store with the intention of not paying for it can leave you with shoplifting charges.
- Writing bad checks: When you write a check from a closed account or knowing the account does not have enough funds is considered theft.
- Accepting/buying stolen property: Intentionally taking possession of stolen property can be prosecuted as theft. For example, if a friend gave you shoplifted property as a gift and you knew of this fact, but kept it.
- White collar crimes: This can include acts such as embezzlement, fraud, identity theft, false statements, money laundering, and many other common acts committed by those in the business world.
Penalties for Theft
Theft penalties vary depending on the value of the stolen property/services. The higher the value of the stolen goods, the harsher the penalties. In general, the punishment for theft can include a combination of fines, jail time, and restitution.
