Theft Attorneys in Phoenix, Arizona

Theft, much like a property crime, is punished based upon the value of the stolen property. If the value of the stolen goods is at or less than $1000, then the convicted will only receive a class 1 misdemeanor charge; in which case, the accused may be sentenced for up to 6 months in jail. However, depending on the value of the property, a person can be sentenced up to 10 years in prison for theft. Due to these serious prison terms, it is very important to hire the very best representation possible.

Theft Variables

Many times, the person who gets charged with the theft is not the same person who stole the property. Instead, the person charged with theft may have innocently and unknowingly purchased stolen goods from the real thief. Other times, the charged person may have not stolen at all. The actual thief may have initially sold or gifted certain goods to an individual, and then later accused the purchaser of theft due to some other conflict.

Our Theft Case Experience

At the Law Offices of Michael Cordova, we understand that law enforcement may have conducted an incomplete investigation and simply charged a person because it was easier, faster, and cheaper than thoroughly scrutinizing all the witnesses and evidence. Despite this carelessness, our Criminal Defense Lawyers will invest the time and effort needed to strengthen the defense of a case. If no person spoke to the witnesses, we will interview them. If surveillance videos were not obtained, we will retrieve them. If there are holes in the prosecution's case, we will explore them.
