Theft - Larceny

Like any charge in New Jersey, a conviction is entirely dependent on the prosecution proving its case.

While the elements of any particular criminal matter are unique, there are a number of ways to attack the evidence the prosecution presents, counter it with evidence of your own, and call into question various elements of a case.

In some cases, upon a thorough examination of the factors of the case, it may be beneficial to negotiate lesser charges with the prosecutor, or otherwise take steps that will protect you from the possibility of the sanctions that come from an outright conviction.

Every case is different, and every client’s needs have to be considered in determining an appropriate defense strategy.

Your best bet in New Jersey is to work with an experienced Criminal Defense Attorney.

While most theft crimes are charged based on the value of the goods stolen, stolen firearms are treated differently under the law.

Whatever the value of the firearm that’s been stolen, the theft will be charged as at least a third degree crime, which carries a potential sentence of five years.

Any firearm, whether it was purchased for $100 or $2000, automatically lands in the third degree crime category because of the seriousness of illegal weapons ending up used for other crimes.

If you’ve been charged with theft of a firearm, you should have the best defense available.

These serious charges require experienced legal counsel.
