Phoenix Theft Crimes Lawyer

Theft crimes are aggressively prosecuted in Phoenix. The consequences for these convictions are drastic and all accusations must be taken seriously.

As a criminal defense lawyer, Belén understands the specialized circumstances surrounding the preparation and defense of a theft charge and has the courtroom experience and skill required to stand up against the state. If you’ve been accused of a theft crime, you shouldn’t take the situation lightly.

Penalties for Shoplifting, Burglary, and Theft Crimes in Phoenix

Depending on the value of the stolen property, theft crimes will lead to varying degrees of punishment, if convicted. If you have a criminal history, especially if you have any prior theft convictions, the penalties will be escalated. 

Furthermore, any theft crime may also carry civil penalties in the form of punitive damages. It’s important to note that the value of the stolen item(s) will more than likely be rewarded to the victim, if it’s not returned in original condition, plus another fine.
