We are here to protect your rights, explore all available legal options, and fight for the best possible outcome in your case.

Types of Theft Charges We Handle

Oklahoma law defines several different types of theft offenses. Our Mustang theft defense attorneys have extensive experience defending clients against a wide range of theft charges, including:

• Petty larceny (theft of property valued at less than $500)
• Grand larceny (theft of property valued at $500 or more)
• Embezzlement
• Receiving stolen property
• Shoplifting
• Identity theft
• Credit card fraud
• Writing bad checks

No matter what specific theft offense you have been charged with, we will thoroughly investigate the facts and build a strong defense strategy tailored to your unique circumstances.

Penalties for Theft Convictions in Mustang

The punishment for this crime depends on the value of the property stolen and the defendant's criminal history. Petty larceny is generally charged as a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in county jail and a $500 fine. Grand larceny is a felony offense, carrying a potential sentence of up to five years in prison.

In addition to jail time and fines, a theft conviction can result in probation, restitution, and a permanent criminal record. This criminal record can make it difficult to find employment, secure housing, obtain professional licenses, and more. Our goal is to help you avoid these life-altering consequences whenever possible.

Defending Against Theft Allegations

There are many potential defenses against theft charges, depending on the specific facts of the case. Common defense strategies our Mustang theft defense lawyers may employ include:

• Arguing that you did not intend to permanently deprive the owner of the property
• Showing that you had a good faith belief that the property was yours
• Demonstrating that you were falsely accused or mistakenly identified
• Uncovering violations of your constitutional rights, such as an illegal search and seizure
• Negotiating a plea bargain to reduce the charges or penalties

We will carefully evaluate your case to determine the most effective approach. While we are always prepared to defend you at trial, if necessary, in many cases, we can achieve a favorable result through skillful negotiation with the prosecutor. This may involve getting the charges reduced or dismissed or securing an alternative sentencing option that avoids jail time.
