Burglary

A conviction on a theft charge can result in some combination of jail, probation, and fines but the severity of any punishment will depend on the circumstances of your case and whether you have any prior convictions. Theft (or larceny) is considered the taking of someone else's property without the owner's consent with the intent to temporarily or permanently deprive the owner of the property. The most common forms of theft are petit theft and grand theft. Petit theft involves property or money valued at less than $300 and is a misdemeanor only as a first offense. A grand theft involves property or money valued at more than $300 and is a felony.

If you have been arrested on a theft or burglary charge, it is important for you to remember that you have the right to remain silent and that you are considered innocent until you plead guilty or until the prosecution proves your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. We will make sure your rights are protected and prepare your case while taking circumstances into account to ensure you have the best possible defense.
