DANGERS AND DEFENSES
Theft and fraud crimes vary in complexity, from misdemeanor shoplifting to complex white collar fraud schemes. Some theft allegations are interrelated with other charges, such as BURGLARY. Penalties vary, depending on the value of the alleged theft and the client’s criminal history, if any.
A conviction for theft carries an additional stigma which can damage future employment possibilities. In cases where someone has been wrongly accused, his or her best chances of acquittal rest with the hiring of an attorney with both experience and a reputation for excellence.
In those cases where innocence is not the issue, defense counsel strives to mitigate the client’s risks, which include prison or county jail and the black mark of a criminal or a felony conviction. In certain situations, the attorney may be able to lobby for a non-criminal or a felony conviction. In certain situations, the attorney may be able to lobby for a non-criminal resolution, such as a deferred prosecution prosecution or pretrial intervention.
