Areas of Practice: Theft Crimes
Our experienced lead trial attorneys include defense attorneys who have worked as federal, military, and state prosecutors and have first-hand knowledge of the federal and state criminal process. We have successfully defended clients against a wide variety of theft crime related charges and are well-versed in the Colorado theft laws and circumstances surrounding the following areas of practice:
Individuals accused of burglary can spend up to twelve years behind bars depending on the circumstances of the crime committed. Breaking into a building or locked container in order to steal from or assault another individual is considered a felony offense and carries with it correspondingly severe consequences.
Unlike other theft crimes, robbery specifically entails the use of force, violence, or intimidation to intentionally take money, goods, or other items from another individual. Because they are considered violent crimes, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and judges are never very lenient towards individuals accused of robbery.
Shoplifting
Though it may seem like a minor offense, the negative consequences of a shoplifting conviction can burden you for the rest of your life. Shoplifting entails intentionally taking a piece of merchandise from a store or other commercial outlet without paying for the item.
What is Considered Felony Theft in Colorado?
