Defending You Against Theft Crime Charges

I am a St. Petersburg theft attorney with more than 17 years of criminal defense experience. I focus only on criminal matters, only in Pinellas County. I find that this focus helps me stay current with the changing law. Another benefit is that I find myself representing clients in the same courts week after week. I am comfortable with the procedures and the rules in this area, which helps me focus on my clients' defense.

If you are facing theft crime or dealing in stolen property charges, contact me. I am focused, reliable and experienced. I will do everything I can to help you get the best results possible in your case. No one wants to be charged with a crime, but I can help you make the best of a bad situation.

Common Scenarios for Theft and Dealing in Stolen Property Charges

Perhaps more than most crimes, theft crimes do not occur in a vacuum. They are usually related to other crimes and scenarios that lead to the theft:

• Drug crimes: Drug crimes, including prescription pill crimes, are often involved in theft cases. When someone is hooked on certain drugs, they often end up stealing to pay for the drug habit.
• Juvenile crimes: Theft is one of the most common juvenile crimes. Often, juvenile theft also involves a juvenile drug crime.
• Burglary: Burglary involves entering a building or property with the intention of committing a crime, and usually this crime involves a theft of some kind.
• Probation violation: Theft is a common substantive probation violation. It can lead to increased incarceration and fines.

Regardless of the reasons for the theft crime charges, I can help. I will do everything possible to help you avoid prison and get a lenient sentence.

Before becoming a criminal defense attorney, I was a United States Marine with combat experience in Desert Storm. That experience taught me all problems have an appropriate solution if one has the knowledge and persistence to find the answer.
