Strong and Determined Representation
In any criminal case, there could be one or more potentially successful defense strategies. Miller & Pugh Law Offices, P.C. will carefully review the circumstances of your arrest and explain your defense options. These include seeking a dismissal of the charge, accepting a plea agreement to a lesser charge or seeking a not guilty verdict at trial.
The most important element the state must prove in a theft case is to show that the accused intended to permanently deprive the owner of the use of the property in question. Your attorney will look closely at this and other aspects of your case when building your defense.
Theft Crime Punishments
The punishments for theft crimes often depend on what was allegedly taken. The amount of the property and the monetary value of the property will have an effect on the type of sentence you are facing upon conviction. The larger the amount and the higher dollar value of the items, the harsher the consequences.
