Theft is generally defined as the taking and carrying away of the property of another with the intent to permanently deprive the owner. As modern society advances, non-traditional forms of theft such as identity theft and card "skimming" are cropping up everywhere.

Many computer-based theft crimes are prosecuted at the federal level, resulting in harsher penalties. Also, many states have "repeat offender" laws which subject individuals with prior theft or theft-related convictions to punitive sentencing enhancements.

Pre-trial preparation is one of the keys to the successful defense of theft charges. Often, experts in computer forensics or handwriting can tip the scales in your favor, so your defense team needs to have the resources to thoroughly prepare for combat with the prosecution.

Theft crimes tend to be easier to negotiate in terms of plea discussions than violent crimes or sex offenses. Although we always prepare for trial, our seasoned attorneys are especially skilled at negotiation techniques. We will always strive to present you with the best potential negotiated resolution possible, knowing that it is your choice whether to take a deal or go to trial.
