Theft, Robbery And Burglary
South Jersey Criminal Defense Attorney Defending Sex Crimes In Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Mercer, Ocean And Salem Counties
Stealing a couple dollars worth of merchandise from a store may start out as a low level offense, but can quickly escalate to very serious charges. Making physical contact with a store employee and pushing past them as they try to stop you from leaving the store can enhance a simple theft to a second-degree robbery, carrying with it a five to ten-year state prison sentence with a period of 85% parole disqualification. In a similar vane, entering a structure, or even a motor vehicle during the course of a theft, even a minor one, will expose you to felony burglary charges.
I have handled hundreds of robberies, burglaries, and theft charges. From shopliftings gone wrong to full on armed robberies, I am familiar with the legal defenses available to you in these types of charges. It is important that you have an experienced attorney review your case and the evidence against you to ensure that your legal rights are protected.
