Laceny is a Serious Crime with Serious Penalties

Larceny or Theft crimes range from simple misdemeanors to major felonies. Taking any property or money without permission of the owner, can be considered stealing or larceny. This includes instances of mistaken identity, false accusations, and minor mistakes, among others.

The prosecutor in a larceny case must prove that you intended to permanently deprive the owner of their property, knowingly concealed the property, or demanded payment in return of the stolen goods. If you are charged with larceny or any theft crime, contact Schmierlaw an experienced larceny defense lawyer.
