Defending Against Theft Charges
Even more than other crimes, people do not want a theft conviction on their record. A theft conviction carries extremely negative connotations on an employment application and can be a bar to many types of employment.
The truth is that people from all walks of life commit theft. Theft is not limited to people of low economic means. In fact, it is often the case that people who get caught stealing have enough money to pay for the item stolen but simply are stealing as a way of dealing with some fear or depression or stress in their lives.
Moreover, there are people who are innocent of the charges who have been misidentified or whose intentions have been misread. As a criminal defense lawyer, it is not my job to judge. You will find no judgment at my office. My sole purpose and goal is to be an advocate for you. My goal in each case is to get the best possible result for you. In some cases, that means taking a case to trial. In other cases, that means negotiating for a plea agreement that best protects your record and limits the potential penalties you may face.
If you have been arrested for shoplifting, theft, auto theft, robbery, burglary or other type of theft offense, I can help. I also provide representation for all fraud related offenses like passing a bad check, check forgery and other fraud based crimes.
