Lawrenceville Theft Crime Attorney
Robbery, Burglary, Trespassing: Defending Criminal Charges
The crime of theft is committed when one person takes illegal possession
of another person's property without that person's authorization.
There are a variety of theft crimes, both misdemeanor and felony, including
burglary, robbery, fraud, shoplifting or any crime where something of
value is taken from the person who rightly possesses it. Theft charges
can encompass any number of scenarios, can have a wide range of monetary
values associated with monies stolen, and have penalties that range as
well. If you have been charged with theft, reach out to the Law Office
of Robert L. Booker immediately to discuss your options for a winning
defense. The firm represents individuals charged with any type of theft
crime, including petty theft,
robbery and
burglary.
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.
