Possible Defense for Theft Crimes
As your defense attorney, we will fight every aspect of the state’s evidence against you. To find you guilty of this crime, the prosecutor must prove that you took something with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of its possession. If we can show that you had permission to take the cash or property or that you intended to return it, we may be able to acquit you of these charges.
We will also examine the possibility that the police do not have good evidence in your case. For example, they might be relying on stolen property that was found during an illegal search and seizure. In this case, we can get the evidence thrown out. Or, the charges may be based on the testimony of an unreliable witness. We can cross-examine the witness to uncover inconsistencies in their story or dig into their background to see if we can find anything that will suggest their testimony may be unreliable.
After 15 years of experience in criminal defense, we know how to investigate and fight theft charges effectively. We will create a personalized defense strategy for you that takes into account the evidence against you and your desired outcome for the case.
You can rest assured that we will not accept any deal unless it is in your best interests. If necessary, we will go to trial and cross examine and challenge each witness and item of evidence presented by the prosecutor.
