About Theft Crimes

There are varying degrees of theft charges depending on the circumstances of the crime.  Factors that can affect sentencing by a judge are the existence of prior offenses, use of force or violence during the commission of the crime, weapon use, and the presence of minors at the criminal incident.  A theft crime automatically becomes a felony if the use of force is present and under certain other conditions.  Punishment for theft crimes can include:

• Maximum 1 year jail term, fines, probation, counseling, restitution, and community service for a misdemeanor conviction
• Maximum 30 years prison term, large fines, parole, counseling and rehabilitation programs, community service, and restitution for a felony conviction

The loss of certain rights and freedoms that accompany a criminal conviction can have a life changing affect on the offender.  Lessened opportunities for employment, college, and career advancement can be the result of a theft crime conviction.  An individual guilty of a theft crime may lose certain professional licenses or a child custody award following a divorce.  It is important to seek legal representation from experienced attorneys who aggressively fight for their clients and protect their constitutional rights.  Our lawyers with Buckmaster Law are knowledgeable and skilled in all areas of criminal defense including theft crime.  Make an appointment today for a consultation with a qualified theft crime attorney.
