Albuquerque Theft Crimes Defense Lawyer

A theft crime is any act of taking or using another person’s property without permission. Such crime crosses over into a number of different criminal categories such as:

Shoplifting
Robbery
Burglary
Larceny
Forgery
Embezzlement
Auto theft/carjacking
Receiving of stolen property

You can also be charged with a theft crime for committing certain white collar crimes such as:

Credit card theft
Identity theft
Fraud schemes

White collar theft crimes do not necessarily involve pointing a gun in someone’s face or stealing physical property, but they do violate the victim’s privacy and can also ruin the victim’s credit history for many years to come.

Our Criminal Attorney Can Help You Avoid Serious Penalties

If you have committed a theft crime, you must appoint an Albuquerque theft crimes lawyer as soon as possible. Offenders accused of committing theft crimes are often treated quite harshly by prosecutors—who will do whatever is necessary to ensure that you are found guilty of the charges.

If convicted, you could be sentenced to time in jail or prison, mandatory counseling, probation or parole, large fines, restitution to the victim, and more. When faced with a theft charge, do not take the risk of being appointed a public defender that is overworked, overwhelmed, and more then likely doesn’t care about the outcome of your case.
