Understanding Everett theft crime charges

There are a wide variety of criminal charges associated with theft. These charges vary by where the property was taken, how it was acquired, the value of the property and whether violence was involved. Theft is the taking of property. Depending on the value of the property, it may be considered petty theft or grand theft and may be a misdemeanor or a felony. This type of charge is usually associated with crimes like shoplifting. A charge of burglary is common in cases where someone is accused of breaking into a home or business. Each state’s laws are different and your Everett defense attorney will help you understand the charges against you.

Charges often become more serious when they are accompanied by an accusation of violence. Crimes where property is taken directly from a person usually result in a charge of robbery. She helps clients build a defense against all types of theft charges.
