What We Do

Theft Crime in Florida:

Because theft crimes create such a negative persona around the person who is accused, those who are convicted often have extremely tough times finding housing and employment after they have served their sentences. If you have been accused of theft, it is critical you protect your freedoms and your reputation with the help of a top Miami criminal lawyer.

Depending on the specific crime you are accused of, you may be facing misdemeanor or felony charges. In Florida, the value of the crime is usually the deciding factor and crimes that are valued as less than $300 are charged as misdemeanor but if weapons or force was used, you will likely face a felony no matter how little you have been accused of taking. If there was no use of violence and the property value was just over the $300 mark, your Miami criminal attorney may be able to negotiate for the charges to be handled at the misdemeanor level, which will reduce your potential sentence.

In some cases, people who plead guilty to a misdemeanor may be able to avoid serving time if they agree to perform a diversion program to prevent themselves from being involved in similar crimes in the future.
