Miami Theft Crime Attorney
Are you facing charges of robbery or theft?
If you have been arrested for shoplifting or another type of theft crime, you have a limited time to seek legal help with fighting your charges. Theft crimes may be charged as misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the particular circumstances of your case, and it is necessary to have a powerful Miami theft attorney on your side.
Florida law defines theft as the taking of another's property without their consent or knowledge with the intent of depriving the owner of its possession or use. Usually involving the use of force, violence, or deception, theft is a serious crime that is heavily prosecuted in the state of Florida. Prosecutors are aggressive in their examination of those accused of theft crimes, and you need a Miami criminal defense attorney who will construct a tough and bulletproof defense case on your behalf.
Kinds of Theft
Burglary
This is a crime of breaking and entering into someone else's home or property without their permission. An individual may or may not have stolen anything from the premises.
Robbery
This is a crime of taking something by force by coercion of fear, typically. Rather than taking an object with the intent to return it, robbery comes with the intent of permanently depriving another of their property.
Carjacking
Even vehicles that have advanced alarm systems can be broken into. Carjacking is the crime of stealing any type of vehicle. Stealing a vehicle with an individual inside is considered armed assault.
Petty Theft
Petty theft, as opposed to grand theft, is a type of stealing that involves a lesser amount of money (typically less than $1,000).
Shoplifting
This involves stealing property that was not paid for from a retail store. This is actually considered to be the most common type of property-related crime in the United States.
