Aggressive Defense Against Theft Charges

If law enforcement has accused you of theft, you may be tempted to try and explain why your actions have been misunderstood. However, anything you say will be used against you. Select an experienced theft defense attorney prepared to help level the playing field against you. A criminal conviction has far reaching implications beyond jail time and hefty fines. Your employment opportunities or chances of being approved for housing or credit could be put at risk.

If you are accused of shoplifting, we may be able to use surveillance video footage to show you were wrongfully accused. We also have access to network specialists and internet experts when defending against theft charges involving online transactions. Through our investigative work, we may be able to show someone else hacked into your operating system and conducted the illegal activity without your knowledge. An alibi may also show you were not using your computer when the illegal activity allegedly occurred online. Every theft charge is fact-specific and a prosecutor must prove the crucial element of “intent.” We will evaluate every angle possible to ensure your constitutional rights are protected.
