THEFT AND ROBBERY CRIMES

Have you been charged with Theft or Robbery?

Under State law, virtually any charges involving taking the property of another without consent of the owner constitutes a theft crime. Even in cases involving property with little monetary value can cause you jail time. In fact, convictions of individuals who happen to receive stolen goods can result in the same severe penalties imposed on the people who stole the goods. Due to the complexity of state theft laws, anyone facing charges needs support from an experienced lawyer. The Crosland Law Group, LLC provides the knowledgeable representation you need to obtain the best possible results in your criminal case.

Understanding the types of theft offenses

No theft crime charges are trivial. In fact, even if you unknowingly receive stolen goods, you should retain an experienced criminal defense attorney before talking to the police. We advocate on behalf of individuals charged with a full array of theft crimes, including the following:

Defending against charges of Theft and Robbery

Law-abiding citizens often make the mistake of trying to explain their errors to police when they commit minor theft crimes without criminal intent. Unfortunately, police do not arrest people they believe are innocent, and they do use your words against you during your criminal case. To support the possibility of dropped charges, acquittal or a reduced sentence, you need a skilled criminal defense before you answer any questions.

Even if police tell you that your best chances for release come through cooperation, you need to take advantage of your Miranda rights to remain silent and to call an attorney. As an experienced criminal defense lawyer, we have the legal knowledge to fully assess the severity of your charges and the dedication to protect your rights through every step of the legal process.

What Should You Do Next?

  1. Call us immediately so that you can have an experienced Attorney on your side or email us with your questions or concerns.

  2. Don’t talk about your situation with anybody until you have had the opportunity to discuss it with your Attorney. It is usually best to make no statement and sign nothing! At some point the police may ask you to come into the station and give a statement. You may believe this is your chance to tell your side of the story. For any individual under investigation for or charged with a serious criminal offense, this is a perilous time.

  3. Instead of talking to the police, consult with a criminal defense attorney. Your consultation is free. If you then hire our firm, your lawyer can intercede on your behalf and talk to the detectives. This is a great way to get valuable information and may result in charges not being filed. Most importantly, doing so will keep you from giving a statement that might ultimately be used against you. Rest assured, it is likely that the District Attorney will use any statement you make at trial. Statements you make innocently on your own behalf can result in damage as well.

It is also helpful for you to put together any papers related to the case; create a list of potential witnesses; and compile documentation of your good character. All of these things will help your Attorney construct your best defense. The sooner an experienced Attorney is on your case, the better chance you have of obtaining a favorable result.
