Theft Defense Lawyer

As an experienced attorney, I am able to represent clients charged with larceny related charges, such as:

• Shoplifting

• ATM card theft
• Credit card theft
• Car theft
• Employee theft
• Theft by swindle
• Theft by fraud

Theft Laws in Minnesota

Regardless of the type of theft, charges are made based on the dollar amount that was involved in the theft:

• $250 and lower: misdemeanor
• $250 - $500: gross misdemeanor
• $500 and more: felony

Due to the severity of these guidelines, many individuals charged with theft face felony criminal and civil penalties ranging fines and jail time to the loss of the right to vote or to own a weapon. Additionally, because theft is deemed a crime of dishonesty, obtaining a job, an apartment, or a loan are nearly impossible feats. As an experienced theft defense lawyer, I work to minimize any damage and impact a theft charge may have. I challenge evidence and work to negotiate more favorable terms for my client such as reduction of the charges or resolution in a manner that does not reflect on the individual's criminal record.

Law enforcement officials can be very devious in working to ascertain information from you. Therefore, it is imperative that you reinforce your right to remain silent and consult with an experienced theft lawyer immediately.
