Theft / Shoplifting
Any conviction on theft charges will leave you with a permanent criminal record, regardless of the value of what was taken. At the Law Offices of Carl Spector I use all of my experience, as well as all available legal tools to protect your rights. My goal is to leave you without a criminal conviction on your record.
In New York, the theft of any property less than $250 in value is petit larceny, which is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison. Theft of property $250 or more in value is grand larceny, a felony charge, punishable by a prison sentence of more than one year. Theft of a credit card (even if not used), as well as burglary and robbery, (regardless of amount taken or value of property), are also felony charges.
