Theft crimes defense attorney serving Orange County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County
California penal code for grand theft
Theft crimes can be serious, depending upon the value of the property stolen and the record of the defendant.
Theft offenses are prosecuted aggressively by county district attorney’s offices.
A minor offense, such as shoplifting, should be taken seriously because it could result in:
- deportation
- loss of professional licenses
- termination from employment
- jail
- fines
- prison
Plus, being arrested for stealing in any form is not only frightening, it’s embarrassing!
If you are found guilty of theft in California, you face punishments that range from moderate to severe.
How you are penalized depends greatly on how effective your California defense attorney is.
An inexperienced attorney may not know how to petition the court for the least severe penalties possible for the crime you are convicted of.
However, an attorney’s main goal should not be to have the least severe sentence imposed – it should be to have the charges against you completely cleared!
