Experienced Defense Against a Wide Range of Property Crimes
Property crimes involve taking someone else's property (stealing) or destroying property. We have defended clients charged with property crimes involving:

Reducing Your Charges by Returning Stolen Property
If you have been charged with stealing an object, you did in fact steal the object, and the object is in the same condition it was taken in, you can return the stolen item and reduce the possible penalties. This is one of the best ways to prevent serious penalties if the evidence is against you. However, make sure you speak with a criminal defense attorney before you act.
A Crime of Moral Turpitude
Property crimes are considered crimes of moral turpitude for immigration purposes. This means that you may experience denial of naturalization, deportation or removal for a property crime conviction. If you are an immigrant charged with a property crime, do not hesitate to contact us.
