Portland Theft Crime Lawyer

Fighting Theft Charges

Theft crimes take on many forms and labels, depending on the specifics of the offense. They may be misdemeanors or felonies but always have the potential of resulting in significant penalties. Certain aggravating circumstances can also cause penalties to be increased. A criminal record which lists a theft crime can also affect which jobs you will be considered for when seeking employment in the future. There is also the potential for conviction in certain cases where theft was attempted, even if not successful.

If you have been charged with a theft crime, it is important you enlist the help of a Portland criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. The earlier an attorney is brought on to your case, the more opportunity there is to fight the charges against you. Whether you have been charged with robbery, burglary, shoplifting, white collar crimes, fraud crime or embezzlement, an attorney can fight for your rights. These theft offenses each require a different approach as regards investigation and preparation and the defenses used. An experienced attorney will have an understanding of these, as well as the precedents and arguments relevant to your case.
