Experienced lawyer represents people in our area charged with robbery, burglary and larceny

If you’re accused of theft, it’s important to seek skilled legal counsel to protect your rights. As a criminal defense attorney, I defend clients in our area accused of robbery, burglary, shoplifting and other theft crimes. I will investigate the circumstances of your case to develop a targeted defense designed to obtain the best possible outcome, whether that’s an acquittal, reduced charge or favorable plea agreement. I draw on my experience challenging prosecutors in both state and tribal court to uphold your rights when you’re charged with a theft crime.

Handling a range of Theft cases

There are many types of theft crimes, but they all involve taking someone’s property. Theft charges vary based on the property’s value, where it was taken, how it was acquired, and whether violence was involved. Depending on the value of the property, it may be considered petty theft or grand theft and may be a misdemeanor or a felony. Theft of livestock or vehicles, and even shoplifting are considered larceny. A burglary charge involves breaking into a home or business to steal property. Embezzlement is charged against those who steal money that they have been entrusted with.

Robbery is a more serious charge, because it involves violence, while armed robbery also involves weapons. These charges carry severe penalties. That’s why it’s important to seek skilled representation from an experienced defense attorney who knows the Oklahoma laws and has defended clients on similar charges.

Challenging your theft charges

Those who have been charged with theft crimes in state or tribal courts should not give up hope. I will challenge the prosecution’s evidence and police procedure to see whether your rights were violated during the investigation or your arrest. When possible, I will present evidence that establishes an alibi, proving that you were not at the scene of the crime when it was committed.

Defendants in theft cases often face the prospect of serious punishment. They may be forced to pay restitution to the person they are accused of stealing from. They may be sentenced to jail or prison, depending on the charge. No matter what charge you face, I am an advocate dedicated to providing the best possible defense under the circumstances.
