Lawrenceville Theft Defense Attorney

Theft is the criminal and sometimes violent crime of wrongfully taking another person’s property with the purposeful intention of denying the owner access to his/her property.  When a person illegally takes property or possessions that do not belong to him/her, he/she can be charged with a theft crime.

Theft crimes vary in severity and are usually categorized by the value of the property that was stolen.  For example, a person who stole property that was valued at below $500 would most likely be charged with a misdemeanor, and would have to pay a fine or spend less than a year in jail if convicted.  Where as a person that stole property that was valued above $500 would typically be charged with a felony, and would have to pay fines and possibly spend more than a year in jail if convicted.

Once a person has been charged with theft, whether the charge is a misdemeanor or a felony, it is advisable that he/she consult with an experienced Lawrenceville theft crime attorney.  In some cases, a lawyer may be able to get involved from the beginning, which could lead to the person’s charges or sentence being reduced.  Additionally, a theft crime lawyer can shed valuable insight into the person’s case and provide strategic, customized defense tactics that will increase the person’s chance of winning both in and out of court.
