Champaign Theft Crimes Lawyer
Our experienced Champaign theft crime lawyers at Patel Law, PC recognize that being accused of theft can be very embarrassing. Theft crimes can result in misdemeanors or felonies in Illinois.
Even a seemingly minor theft crime can lead to serious consequences. For example, retail theft may be charged as burglary if the prosecutor can prove that you intended to commit theft before entering the building. If you are charged with burglary, you face the prospect of prison with no opportunity for probation.
How to get theft charges dropped?
The underlying point is that any theft crime charge can quickly spiral into more serious allegations when defendants do not have skilled and experienced criminal defense lawyers by their side. If you want the benefit of working with a full theft crimes attorney and the opportunity to reduce your chances of receiving the maximum penalties, you need Patel Law, PC.
