Misdemeanor Vs Felony Theft in Georgia
While there are many different ways theft can and does take place, all
are categorized into misdemeanors or penalties.
Misdemeanors are less serious offenses, and offenders are charged with
misdemeanor theft when the value of stolen goods does not exceed $500.00. A person who commits theft on two occasions can expect a minimum $250
fine, and a third conviction carries with it a sentence of 30 days in
jail or house arrest for a period of 120 days.
Felony theft is of a more serious nature and involves cases where the value
of stolen goods exceeds $500.00. Sentences can range anywhere from 1 to 15 years, depending on the circumstances
surrounding the incident and the value of stolen goods. A second felony
theft offense may return a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. We also
defend offenders who are charged with a violation of probation, and we
work tirelessly to ensure that they do not get a second mark on their
criminal record.
