A theft is simply the taking of another's property without permission. Have you been accused of committing a crime of theft and arrested? This can be an embarrassing experience which can leave a person uncertain and anxious about the future. Even a theft involving an item of small value is a serious matter. The courts take theft crimes seriously. Prosecutors are interested in gaining convictions and generally push for the maximum penalties. Don't face this alone. An Overland Park criminal defense attorney at our firm works to resolve these charges and gain a positive outcome.

A theft of money or possessions valued at less than $1,000 is typically a misdemeanor; an amount greater than $1,000 is charged as a felony. When the accused has a prior theft conviction, the penalties can be more serious. Criminal defense of theft allegations can involve complex issues and, depending upon the circumstances, an effective defense strategy can differ greatly from one case to the next.
Theft includes a wide variety of offenses including:
- Shoplifting
- Fraud
- Bad checks
- Embezzlement
- Auto theft
- Misuse of public funds
- Robbery
- Burglary

"Very Respectful and Understanding Throughout the Process"I contacted Gigstad Law Office when I found myself being charged with a DUI in the state of Kansas. Although I've used other lawyers in the past for other types of legal situations, I've found, much to my disappointment, that they can often be flaky, or lacking in timely communication and responsiveness. I found that Mr. Gigstad was just the opposite. His rates are reasonable, he didn't drop the ball when I needed immediate legal advice, and was very respectful and understanding throughout the process. I would definitely recommend his services.DUI Client

"I Appreciate Robert's Efficiency and Patience"I really appreciate Robert's help with my case. I was ashamed, stressed and overwhelmed due to my intent to deprive charge. Robert made the process very easy and reminded me that everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect. I never felt judged or as though he was telling me what I wanted to hear for money, he is sincere! I appreciate Robert's efficiency and patience, he always took time to explain everything in detail, e-mailed and/or called me back within the same business day. I never had to attend court until I signed my diversion paperwork. Needless to say I wouldn't hesitate to rehire Robert and you won't be disappointed for choosing Robert.E.E

"I Would Highly Recommend Giving Robert a Call"Robert was very easy to work with. He took care of my speeding ticket for a very reasonable fee and had the ticket amended down to a non-moving violation so no points against my drivers license or insurance rate increases. If you have a speeding ticket in the KC area that needs to be dealt with, I would highly recommend giving Robert a call.Mat
