Defending You Against Theft Crime Charges In Long Beach
Whether you are a good person who made a bad decision, or you have been wrongly accused of theft, you need the help of a knowledgeable lawyer to fight for you.
Theft Includes a Range of Offenses
- Shoplifting
- Identity theft
- Credit card theft
- Car theft
- Check theft
- White collar crimes
Whether a theft offense is charged as a misdemeanor or felony partially depends on the value of the property taken, whether force was used and if you have any prior convictions. Penalties if convicted can include jail time, state prison, fines, counseling and restitution. It can also affect immigrants attempting to obtain a visa, green card, naturalization or simply remain in the United States.
Because so much is at stake, you need a skillful defense lawyer on your side, making sure your rights are protected. I am that lawyer.
Many theft crimes are considered "crimes of moral turpitude." Therefore, if you have a conviction on your record, state license boards can deny application for or revoke licenses, including contractor, nursing, paramedic or real estate licenses.
