Property Crimes

The Penalties Can Be Severe

An arrest for theft, shoplifting or another type of property crime can negatively affect your life in many ways. You could get a criminal record and be prevented from entering certain occupations. You could even go to jail. If you have been arrested for a property crime, you should obtain legal representation as soon as possible. In these types of cases, taking prompt action can make a difference in the outcome.

Seeking The Best Possible Outcome

In some cases, we have persuaded prosecutors to drop charges or charge clients with lesser crimes by pointing out weaknesses in the evidence. However, there is a limited window in which this is possible. Get legal help today.

We will review the events leading to your arrest, develop an appropriate defense strategy and work hard to obtain the best possible outcome for you.

Avoiding Conviction And Jail

Some first-time offenders can avoid a conviction, jail and a criminal record through pretrial diversion. In this outcome, a final resolution of your case is postponed while you complete certain activities, such as community service, restitution of the stolen property or education. If you comply with the terms of the program and stay out of further trouble, the charge against you will be dismissed and no conviction will be entered on your record. At some point, it may even be possible to expunge the arrest from your record. Our attorneys have helped many people obtain these types of outcomes. If you are eligible, we can seek a pretrial diversion outcome for you.
