Theft is the unlawful taking of another's property with the intent to temporarily or permanently deprive that person of the use of that property.  The statute of limitations for many theft crimes is greater than for most other crimes.

Theft offenses include the following:

·         Grand & Petit Theft

·         Credit Card Fraud

·         Unemployment, Medicare/Medicaid, & Welfare Fraud

·         Auto Theft

·         Dealing in Stolen Property

·         Many, Many More

Theft Offenses are considered “crimes of moral turpitude.”  Convictions of theft offenses can affect your immigration status, your license to drive, and your employability.  Many times theft crimes can be mitigated and reasonable sentences negotiated.  Also, many times the charges are hard for the State to prove.  You may be eligible for diversion.  Kissimmee and Orlando Criminal Lawyer Don Waggoner can help you get a reasonable resolution to your case in most cases, whether it is through a negotiated plea or a trial.  Do not be convicted of a crime you did not commit.  Contact Attorney Don Waggoner today and get your defense started.
