Utah Criminal Defense Lawyer: Theft Charges
If you have been arrested on a theft charge, it is important that you consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney who can advise you of your rights. In many cases, the most serious consequence of a theft conviction is not the criminal penalty, but the establishment of a criminal record.
A theft conviction will deter most employers from giving you an interview, let alone hiring you for a job. A theft conviction looks terrible on a college or graduate school application and could result in the loss of your professional license.
Protect Your Rights — Contact Attorney Paul Grant
If you have been charged with a theft offense in Utah, I encourage you to contact me, attorney Paul Grant. I have successfully defended many clients against theft charges and can provide the vigorous defense you require.
I handle all theft-related offenses, including:
- Shoplifting
- Retail theft
- Auto theft
- Robbery
- Receipt of stolen goods
- Fraud
As a former prosecutor and public defender, I understand how the criminal justice system works. If this is your first offense, I may be able to negotiate a resolution to your case that results in no criminal record.
If you are being charged as a repeat offender, the prosecutor in your case may seek jail time. I will carefully review the facts of your case, look for ways to undercut the prosecution's theories and evidence, and determine which defense strategies will bolster your chances for a successful result. If the prosecution is not willing to make a reasonable plea offer or if you prefer to take your chances at trial, I am an experienced trial lawyer who will aggressively defend your rights at trial.
