Larceny, Fraud, and Embezzlement

 If you’ve been charged with larceny, fraud, or forgery, you need to take it these matters seriously. Don't assume that a misdemeanor summons will be treated lightly by the prosecution. Petite larceny has become a significant national problem and courts have responded swiftly with stiff new penalties and far-reaching consequences.  In some Virginia jurisdictions, such as Prince William County, a first time petty larceny conviction results in a minimum of 1 day in jail.

 

 Property crimes carry a stigma of dishonesty that will follow you the rest of your life. A larceny conviction that shows up on a background check may prevent you from getting a job, an apartment, a security clearance, or even entry into the military or college. Larceny is divided into 2 categories: 1) Petite Larceny (theft or loss less than $200.00) in a misdemeanor.  2) Grand Larceny (theft of more than $200.00, or taking more than $5.00 directly from a person) is a felony. Don’t assume about what will get probation just because you have no criminal record.  . Contact us immediately for your free initial consultation to discuss how we can and will fight your case.
