Property Crime Defense Attorneys
We defend theft, aggravated theft, embezzlement, occupational embezzlement, breach of trust, snatching, and robbery. Strategy depends on possession, intent, and whether settlement is possible.
Theft Case Defense
First-time, low-value theft with a settlement often supports deferred prosecution or a commutable fine. Counsel can assist with settlement, interviews, and whether aggravating elements apply.
Common Property-Crime Charges and Defense Strategy
Theft is taking property from another's possession; embezzlement is keeping property already in your custody. Occupational embezzlement is not complaint-based, but restitution still matters for sentencing. Consult counsel early if you are accused.
Property Crime Defense FAQ
Will a first-time, low-value theft lead to prison?
In practice, first offenders involving small amounts who settle with the victim often obtain deferred prosecution or a commutable fine. Early assistance from a lawyer with settlement and the defense usually secures a better outcome.
What is the difference between embezzlement and theft?
Theft is taking property out of another's possession; embezzlement is keeping another's property already in your custody, such as failing to return entrusted funds. The elements differ, and so do the defense strategies.
Can a business embezzlement case be closed by settlement and withdrawal?
Business embezzlement is not a complaint-based offense, so the complainant cannot withdraw to end the case. However, returning the funds and settling remain important grounds for deferred prosecution, probation, or a lighter sentence.
