Theft Crimes Attorney

The criminal offense of theft includes such offenses as shoplifting, check swindling, theft of service, food stamp fraud, and embezzlement. A theft charge may be a misdemeanor or a felony, but every type of theft case involves an intent to steal, cheat, or swindle, which makes it a crime of moral turpitude. What that means is that such a conviction will follow you forever and can be used to discredit your believability and character.
