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.
Theft Crime Lawyer in Overland Park
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
- Petty theft

"I Would Recommend Him to Anyone!"Robert attended all of my court dates and got everything in order for me to do a diversion. In addition, he was able to get my drivers license case dropped (the part I was really dreading). He provided me with good advice on what to do and all the steps needed to move forward. He was easy to get a hold of through the entire process and great to work with. I would recommend him to anyone!Happy Client

"Extremely Responsive, Straight Talking Attorney That Carries Himself like None I Have Ever Used"Extremely responsive, straight talking attorney that carries himself like none I have ever used in the past. Treated me like he was providing a service, rather than doing me a favor by taking my case. Gave me his opinion of my case and his recommendation on how he would approach it but let me make the final decisions. In the end he negotiated a deal with the prosecuting attorney that was better than I thought possible. Zero jail time and minimum fines totaling $250(maximum was $2500). Now, 6 months later he was able to get all of my remaining probation time terminated for good behavior. During that time he also helped out with a lease agreement for a rental property, and a bid contract. Considering the level of service I received and the results I got, in the future I won’t use anyone else.Criminal Defense Client
