If I discover that the prosecutor has a lack of legal evidence to convict you in court, I file the right motion to have your charges dismissed.

In many cases of white collar theft, such as fraud or embezzlement, the prosecutor is more interested in having you return the stolen money than they are in throwing you in prison. I use my experience and knowledge of prosecutor strategies and legal tactics to help you get the best outcome possible for your charges, including being willing to fight for your innocence in a trial, when necessary.

Theft related to drug addiction

In my experience, drug use and chemical dependency is the underlying cause of many thefts. If you have a drug abuse problem, and have been charged with a theft crime, I will fight to have you assigned to a chemical dependency treatment program, instead of time in prison.

Contact me to discuss your theft defense needs right away. I will meet with you anywhere, including in jail.
