California Theft Defense Attorneys

A theft crime conviction can turn your life upside down. Theft and burglary convictions can come with serious jail or prison time, steep fines restitution requirements and restrictions on your freedom even after parole. Furthermore, even a misdemeanor petty theft conviction can make finding a new job impossible; a felony conviction can follow you like a stigma for the rest of your life. And criminal charges can cause problems or outright dismissal from your current job, and strain on your family. If you're facing a theft crimes charge, you need experienced, high-quality representation as quickly as possible.
