Fort Lauderdale Grand Theft Lawyer

Have you been arrested for grand theft?

The penalties that are assigned to theft crimes are based upon the value of the stolen item(s) and the manner in which they are stolen. For example, a person robbing a jewelry store by holding the owner at gunpoint will undoubtedly face harsher penalties than a person who hides a shirt in their backpack and walks out of a department store. When an individual steals property that is valued at $300.00 or more, they will be charged with grand theft.

Grand theft is a felony crime that can result in state prison time and other strict penalties as well. If you are under investigation for grand theft, or if you have been arrested for this crime, you must contact a criminal defense attorney who has a thorough understanding of criminal law.
