What is theft?
Theft crimes range in severity from minimal misdemeanors to serious felonies.
Typically, the type of charges depend upon the value of the property,
the type of property, and the method used to remove it. In order to be
found guilty of theft, the prosecution must prove that you took another
individual’s property without his or her consent, and that you had
a clear intent to permanently remove the property from his or her ownership.
Types of theft include:
- Burglary
- Robbery
- Petty theft
- Receiving stolen property
- Electronic theft
- Shoplifting
- Identity theft
- Embezzlement
- Theft of intellectual property
Sentences depend on the severity of the theft and can range from:

Know Your Defense Options
At The Law Office of Lesa Pamplin, P.C., we can build an aggressive and
effective defense for your case to fight for your freedom and your reputation.
One of the most common defenses against theft charges is to argue the
element of specific intent. Essentially, this means that you had other,
lawful intentions in mind when you committed the alleged offense. Another
common defense that is used for charges of possession of stolen property
is ignorance, whereby you did not know that the property was stolen. These
defenses are hard to prove and require a competent and aggressive criminal
attorney who knows what it takes to win cases.

It is crucial that you contact an attorney as soon as possible to begin
building your defense. Our Fort Worth criminal lawyer knows that you have
too much at stake to settle for anything less than the highest quality
legal representation. You can trust in Attorney Pamplin’s experience,
dedication, and passion to fight for you.
