Theft

Colorado Theft Lawyer

The crime of theft can take on many forms but what it comes down to is the ability of the prosecution to prove that the property of another person was taken without authorization or by threat or deception. In addition to prosecuting hundreds of theft cases, our attorneys have defended numerous theft cases, from shoplifting to prolonged white collar theft cases including some of the largest thefts in Colorado.

While theft can be a very serious crime, it is a property crime and is treated less harshly than violent crimes. Despite that fact, a conviction for theft, even something minor like shoplifting can affect a person's ability to get a job or housing. Many employers will see the arrest for theft and decide not to hire that person.

Our attorneys have developed a method for dealing with these cases that has proved successful for our clients. We will obtain all of the reports and witness statements and conduct any investigation not done by the police. Since our attorneys have directed complex white-collar theft investigations, they know what the police and prosecutors are supposed to do. So if they see any mistakes in the case, they can use those mistakes to the client's advantage.

Any theft charge will bring restitution with it. Restitution is the money paid to the victim for their losses. Many times prosecutors will over estimate restitution and include costs that are not covered by the restitution statute. Our firm's attorneys will closely examine the restitution documents, along with the other evidence and determine the amount of the loss. We will work hard to minimize the effect of this crime on you and your family.
