Understanding Theft and Burglary Charges

Theft and burglary charges carry significant legal consequences that can affect your reputation, job opportunities, and personal freedom. These charges vary in severity based on several factors that prosecutors will use against you:

• Value of property allegedly stolen
• Presence of weapons during the alleged crime
• Prior criminal history
• Whether the property was taken directly from a person
• Entry into a structure or dwelling
• Damage caused during the alleged offense
• Classification as misdemeanor or felony

Many factors can lead to wrongful accusations, including mistaken identity, false accusations, lack of intent to steal, belief that the property was yours, or possessing property without knowing it was stolen. Our legal team will thoroughly investigate your case to identify all possible defenses.
