Κλοπή

Have You Been Charged With Theft?

Were you surprised to find yourself charged with theft when you thought you were just borrowing a computer from a friend? Or perhaps you took something that was rightfully yours but are now facing accusations of theft? Maybe you accidentally walked off with an item that wasn’t yours.

Regardless of the circumstances, you shouldn’t face severe consequences over what might be a simple misunderstanding.

Understanding the Consequences of Theft

Οι κατηγορίες για κλοπή συνεπάγονται σοβαρές ποινές. Εάν η αξία του κλεμμένου αντικειμένου είναι μικρότερη από $250, μπορεί να αντιμετωπίσετε ποινή φυλάκισης έως και ενός έτους. Εάν η αξία είναι $250 ή μεγαλύτερη, η πιθανή ποινή αυξάνεται σε έως και πέντε έτη φυλάκισης και καταδίκη για κακούργημα στο μητρώο σας.

Ακόμη και αν η κατάσταση ήταν παρεξήγηση, μπορεί να σας επιβληθούν πρόστιμα, αποζημίωση, φυλάκιση, αναστολή και ζημία στη φήμη και την καριέρα σας. Για τους μη Αμερικανούς πολίτες, υπάρχει επίσης ο κίνδυνος απέλασης.

Effective Theft Defense Strategies

A theft charge can be contested successfully with the right legal approach. At The Law Offices of Elliot Savitz & Scott Bradley, we specialize in defending theft cases and will use various strategies to protect your rights:

• Challenge Evidence: We will file motions to ensure that any evidence used against you was legally obtained and that your rights were not violated.
• Address Procedural Issues: If you were entitled to a Clerk’s Hearing but did not receive one, we will fight to get your case dismissed.
• Negotiate Settlements: In many cases, victims may agree to partial restitution, especially if they were reimbursed by insurance or prefer a quick resolution. Often, theft cases are resolved before reaching trial.
