Crimes of Dishonesty
Crimes such as theft and burglary are considered to be "crimes of dishonesty". In addition to the criminal consequences you face, you also stand to be branded as dishonest and untrustworthy. The stigma of having a conviction on your record could make it difficult to find gainful employment, as your conviction will appear during background checks.
Aggressively Protecting Your Rights
Depending on the specifics of your case you could be facing more severe penalties such as extended jail time and harsh fines. Any theft of more than $500 is considered a felony. We understand the serious consequences a felony conviction could have for you and will fight to defeat the charges or negotiate an outcome that protects your record as much as possible.
Our attorneys know what defenses work in these cases and how to effectively challenge the evidence against you. No matter what happens in your case, you can count on us to treat you with the respect you deserve every step of the way.
