Strong Defense From Theft Crimes
Under Virginia criminal law, theft crimes can take many different forms. In general, the term refers to the wrongful taking of money or property with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of that property or money.
While the penalties for the wide range of theft crimes vary significantly, from misdemeanors to felonies, any criminal theft conviction can cause serious problems for an individual. Theft crimes are considered crimes of moral turpitude and can impact a person’s employment, security clearance and career.
Being arrested for any theft crime is a serious matter. You need a defense attorney if you or a loved one has been charged.
