Whether you've been charged with shoplifting or armed robbery, you need a skilled attorney.

Theft charges carry heavy penalties, including jail time. With a skilled attorney, you may be able avoid jail time through a carefully crafted plea negotiation or thoroughly prepared case at trial.

Shoplifting is by far the most common theft crime charged. If the value of the merchandise is alleged to be less than $400 - the crime will be charged as a petty theft. If the merchandise is alleged to be $400 or more then the charge is grand theft which carries a stiffer sentence.

Much more serious are charges of robbery or burglary. Robbery is more than just theft; it involves the taking of property directly from a person with force or threat of force. In contrast, Burglary doesn't even require theft; it involves the entry onto the property of another with the mere intent to steal something or commit some other felony. These charges are felonies and count as a strike.

Regardless of whether you have been charged with misdemeanor petty theft or a felony robbery or burglary, your rights and freedom are on the line. The issues which could lead to dismissal or the reduction of charges are fact driven in theft cases. You need a skilled attorney with the resources to investigate the facts of your case.

We will carefully and thoroughly investigate your case and review the prosecution's evidence to help us build the strongest defense possible.
