Property Crimes

Property related criminal offenses can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending upon the severity of the offense, the circumstances of the offense, and the monetary value of the property in question.  Whether you are charged with a misdemeanor or a felony, you should speak to a criminal defense lawyer right away.  At Schwitzer Simon, LLC we represent individuals who have been charged with:

• Theft
• Shoplifting
• Burglary
• Operating a Motor Vehicle Without Owners Consent
• Robbery
• Forgery
• Criminal Damage to Property
• Arson
• Other property related offense

Depending on the charge, you may be facing significant jail time, probation, fines, or even prison.  The attorneys at Schwitzer Simon, LLC are experienced in dealing with these types of cases, and we understand that each case is different.  We work hard to find solutions that will produce the best possible results for your particular case.

Cases involving property can become very complex when dealing with the value of property which is stolen or damaged, and the amount of restitution that is ordered.  Restitution is compensation for the loss caused to another.  It is important to hire an attorney who has experience dealing with these types of cases.  If you have been charged with a property related crime, we will thoroughly review your case with you, and make sure that you understand all of your rights, including your right to have a trial.  If you are convicted of a property related crime, you have a right to dispute the amount of restitution that is being sought by the alleged victim.  Contact us for a free consultation.
