California Theft Crimes We Have Challenged
In California, there are many theft crimes categories, ranging from violent to nonviolent in nature. The details of your case that determined your charges in the first place are crucial to developing a reliable defense against them. In fact, if Attorneys Maas and Russo can prove that the charges against you inaccurately describe the alleged crime, they may be able to push for a case dismissal or significant charge reductions before your case ever goes to trial.
Just some of the theft crimes charges we can defend against include:
Burglary: You can be charged with burglary if you are accused of unlawfully entering another party’s property with the intent to commit a felony. Therefore, burglary charges are often paired with other criminal charges, like sexual battery. We will construct a defense that challenges the burglary charges, potentially unraveling the other charges at the same time.
Embezzlement: The intentional mismanagement or misplacement of funds entrusted to you by a third party for your own gain is embezzlement. While embezzlement is often described as a white collar crime, it can arise in less formal settings as well. For example, stealing from a cash register while working as a cashier is technically embezzlement, and it may be charged as such if the amount allegedly stolen exceeds petty theft amounts.
Fraud: Intentionally misrepresenting yourself in order to receive finances or benefits from another party is considered fraud. There are numerous definitions and versions of fraud, such as internet, credit card, mail, and bankruptcy fraud, as well as identity theft. Our law firm has the resources and experience to defend against them all.
Robbery: California defines robbery as the taking of a person’s property through force, injury, or intimidation. Due to the inherently violent circumstances described in a robbery charge, the crime will be filed as a felony charge.
Shoplifting: If you are accused of taking items of relatively small value from a storefront, you can be charged with shoplifting. Do not be mistaken into thinking shoplifting is not a serious charge. It can carry heavy consequences, especially if it is filed as a juvenile crime. Being convicted of shoplifting as a juvenile can put a mark on your criminal record that follows you for years to come, making furthered education and employment difficult.
