Larceny Criminal Defense Attorneys
The potential jail time and fines you face for a theft conviction depend on the value of the item you are accused of taking. However, any theft conviction can result in significant damage to your reputation and job prospects. Few employers would want to hire someone with a theft conviction on his or her record.
Since 1992, JC Law has represented people charged with the following crimes:
- Burglary
- Computer Internet theft
- Credit card theft
- Employee theft
- Embezzlement
- Fraud
- Identity theft
- Mortgage-specific fraud
- Racketeering
- Shoplifting
- Tax-related fraud
- Theft
- Trespassing
We help clients charged with everything from writing bad checks to bribing government officials.
Our main goal in a larceny case is to look for a defense that can explain or neutralize the state’s evidence against you. If the government has a weak case, it may be possible to avoid criminal charges. Even if the government has a strong case against you, which is often the case when a grand jury votes to indict you during the grand jury proceeding, early involvement by your lawyer can help minimize the possible consequences.
If this is your first arrest on suspicion of theft, you may be eligible for probation before judgment, which can resolve the charges without the stigma of a conviction. If you successfully complete the terms of the probation, you can answer “no” if an employer asks you on a job application whether you were convicted of a crime.

“I hired Mr. [Jim] Crawford to represent me. I was charged with DUI 3rd, subsequent offender, and several other serious traffic violations. I was scared, and worried sick. Thanks to Mr. Crawford’s experience and advice, I walked out of the courtroom with 8 days jail time, instead of eighteen months.”
