Dallas Theft Crimes Lawyer

Dallas Criminal Defense Attorney for Theft Crimes

The term "theft crimes" embraces a number of different more specific criminal acts involving the intentionally taking of a person's property without their express permission.  Theses offenses can be misdemeanors or felonies depending on the value of the item or items stolen and the specific circumstances during the time of the theft.   Felony crimes are dealt with very seriously in the state of Texas and it is fatal not to have an experienced Dallas criminal defense lawyer on your side who really knows criminal law.  Attorney Knight is dedicated completely to criminal defense cases.  We put the client above all else and work diligently and compassionately to get results.  Dallas theft crimes attorney Nelson Knight has successfully defended clients all over North Texas including the counties of Dallas, Denton, Collin and Tarrant.  We may be able to get an outcome on a theft crimes defense case you didn't think possible for you or someone you care about.

Examples of theft crimes include burglary, shoplifting, misdemeanor theft, felony theft, carjacking, burglary of a motor vehicle, robbery, receiving stolen property, etc.  A variety of fraudulent crimes can be considered theft offenses as well.  Examples include identity theft, forgery and embezzlement (sometimes considered "white collar crimes").  The penalty for conviction of a theft crime depends on the value of the property and the nature of the theft.

If the value of the property was less than $1500 and the nature of the theft was non-violent, the individual will most likely be charged with a misdemeanor.  This can be punishable by a fine and restitution and/or jail time (up to 1 year) or probation-especially if it is just a first offense.   Felony theft crimes such as armed robbery or the theft of items worth more than $1500 have much more serious penalties including possible life in prison or the death penalty for a capital offense involving murder as well as heavy fines of thousands of dollars.  Dallas theft crimes lawyer Nelson Knight understands the stress and worry the client is going through and works aggressively to get the charges dismissed or reduced.
