Theft & Trespassing Criminal Defense Attorneys

While theft has one definition in Florida, it has many different levels and types that can increase the range of punishments and complexities that a person can face. Charges such as petit theft and grand theft, for example, differ in the dollar value of the alleged theft, which also effects the possible punishment range from under a year in county jail to thirty years in prison.

Other crimes incorporate theft as an element, such as burglary or robbery. Both crimes carry serious penalties that can include up to life in prison. Here are some of the types of theft cases we handle:

  • Petit Theft
  • Grand Theft (first degree, second degree, third degree)
  • Burglary
  • Robbery
  • Shoplifting
  • Grand Theft Auto
