We Handle Both Minor and Serious Criminal Charges

Theft, fraud, shoplifting and other charges can be handled in either Municipal or Superior court. More severe criminal charges tend to be handled in Superior Court, while minor charges are typically resolved in Municipal Court. Our attorneys have achieved excellent results representing clients in both arenas.

The State determines the severity of the charges based on the value of the stolen property and the amount of force used in taking the property. For example, a robbery involving assault or the threat of force with a deadly weapon usually carries more severe penalties than a burglary or home break-in. Penalties for fraud offenses will often vary depending on the amount of money involved and the existence of a criminal conspiracy.
