Theft Attorney in Saratoga Springs

New York State statutes contain specific laws against taking someone else's property without their consent. Regardless of the formal definition, larceny is just another word for theft.

Most of us have a general idea of what theft is, but it can occur in various circumstances; be charged as a more or less serious offense; and have more or less serious consequences. The most crucial issue is the value of what was taken. You could be charged in state or federal court, with a felony or misdemeanor.

Two things are certain:

One, conviction will have long-lasting consequences. A criminal record can prevent you from getting a job, holding certain professional licenses, or even renting an apartment.

Two, the lawyer you chose will have an impact on the outcome. The criminal prosecution process has many steps, and at each one, a good lawyer can take advantage of his position to weaken the other side's case, reduce charges or penalties you face, and even the likelihood of being charged.
