Criminal Defense for Theft, Robbery, Burglary and Fraud Cases
​
Theft refers to dishonestly taking another’s property, appropriating property fraudulently with the intention to keep it, or obtaining property under false pretenses. Each type of theft crime has specific penalties. Some theft crimes are federal offenses, and will be tried in the federal court system. The degree of punishment is proportionate to the severity of the crime. The value of the stolen property factors into sentencing. Theft cases can be classified as misdemeanors or felonies, and carry expensive fines, jail/prison time, restitution and community service. Repeated offenses may be treated as a felony with prison terms of one to three years.
​

Charged with Theft in Broward, Miami-Dade or Palm Beach?
​
The intention to steal must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt in order to prove theft. In some instances, a person might be arrested for theft although there was no intention to commit a crime. If the police officer believes there is reasonable cause, you could be arrested regardless of your intention. Hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible can help you to understand your rights and allow your attorney to prepare an effective defense.
​
If you have been arrested and charged with any type of theft offense, the repercussions if convicted are serious. Facing criminal charges without a skilled criminal defense attorney can be a mistake you regret. It is critical that you have a criminal defense lawyer with experience, skill and powerful abilities in the courtroom. The ability of your defense lawyer is extremely important in any criminal charge, and you can rest assured that you will be well-represented by The Law office of Jonathon Marne for your Theft charges in South Florida.
