Theft Charges Defense

Theft charges in California range from misdemeanor petty theft to serious felony charges like grand theft and robbery. A conviction can result in jail time, fines, restitution, and a criminal record that affects future employment.

Effective Theft Defense

I provide effective representation for theft charges ranging from petty theft to grand larceny. Many theft charges arise from misunderstandings, mistaken identity, or situations where you had permission to take the property.

I challenge the prosecution’s evidence, question whether you had the intent to permanently deprive the owner of property, and explore defenses such as mistaken ownership, consent, or lack of criminal intent.

For first-time offenders, I often negotiate for diversion programs that can result in dismissed charges upon completion. For more serious charges, I provide aggressive defense to minimize penalties and protect your record.
