What are the Penalties for Theft Crimes?

Theft charges and penalties vary a great deal, depending on whether you have been charged with forcefully stealing or threatening force, you have been accused of a white collar crime, or you have been arrested for shoplifting, etc.

Here is a general framework of some of the penalties you could face:

Shoplifting/petty theft/larceny - An infraction could result in a $250 fine, whereas a misdemeanor could result in six months of imprisonment a fine between $50 and $1,000 for a first offense.

Burglary/breaking and entering - One to six years’ prison, depending on whether it is a first- or second-degree offense.

Robbery - Imprisonment for two to nine years, depending on if it is attempted, first- or second-degree robbery.

Without proper legal representation, you could suffer a wrongful conviction. Even if you have been charged with committing a theft offense that involved a dangerous or deadly weapon, we offer the trial-tested defense you urgently need.
