Common Penalties
Unlike petty theft crimes, which are generally charged as misdemeanors, grand theft crimes are usually charged as felonies and punishable by one or more years in prison. In order to be convicted of grand theft auto, the prosecutor must prove that the defendant took/drove a vehicle which belonged to someone else. The prosecutor must also prove that the defendant intended to permanently deprive the owner of the vehicle. Do not sit back and wait for your charges to blow over. Be proactive in protecting your rights today in order to safeguard your future.

Questions

How Can An Attorney Combat My Charges?
Answer
We will review how evidence was collected and analyzed. We will determine whether or not a valid search warrant was in place. We will review the circumstances of your arrest. Our legal team will thoroughly review the details of your case and determine if law enforcement violated your rights by conducting an illegal search and seizure. Violations may result in the dismissal of evidence.

Is Law Enforcement Required To Read My Rights?
Answer
Police officers are not legally required to read you your rights at the time of your arrest. The Miranda Warning is only required if the officer plans to use your statement against you as elicit, incriminating evidence in court.
