Orlando Theft Defense Attorney

Theft crimes include larceny, burglary, robbery and armed robbery, fraud, carjacking and vehicle theft, identify theft, credit card theft, embezzlement — and even shoplifting. If you’re convicted, the stakes are high. If the property you took is worth more than $100,000, the charge is first degree grand theft. If the value is between $20,000 and $100,000, it’s second degree grand theft. Anything worth more than $300, but less than $20,000, is third degree grand theft. All three are felony charges. Petty theft — if the property is worth less than $300 — is a misdemeanor.

Even misdemeanors are serious charges and can leave you with a criminal record. You can go to jail and find it difficult or impossible to qualify for loans, jobs or housing for the rest of your life. If you’ve been charged with one of these offenses, you need an advocate on your side, an experienced and aggressive criminal defense attorney who can work through the factors of your case and use them to make a difference.
