Our Theft Crimes Defense Practice

We will handle all matters related to a prosecution for a theft charge, gathering and evaluating all the evidence, preparing and filing all necessary documentation, and acting as your voice in all hearings or proceedings. We defend people facing misdemeanor or felony theft charges, including:

  • Grand larceny or petty larceny
  • Shoplifting
  • Armed robbery
  • Burglary (breaking into a home or business to steal something)
  • Obtaining property through false pretenses, including forgery
  • Possession of stolen property
  • Identity theft, including the unauthorized use of name, credit or other personal data to illegally obtain property or money
  • Employment-related crimes, such as embezzlement or misappropriation

When you hire us to defend you against a theft-related charge, we will fully investigate the facts of your case. We will confirm that police and prosecutors obtained all evidence in compliance with the guidelines established by the U.S. Constitution, and that there was probable cause for any search, seizure or arrest. We will interview all potential witnesses and review police reports so that we can identify the strengths and weaknesses of your case and formulate the most compelling arguments in your defense.
