Theft or Larceny…a Rose by any Other Name.

They are different words, but they mean the same thing in the State of California.  If you, or a loved one, has been detained on a charge of theft, you have been accused of a crime against property.  Note that Grand Theft can lead to imprisonment of up to three years, or in the alternative, a person can spend up to one year in the county jail.

Theft takes on several forms such as –

1.  Personal property
2.  Money…good ole’ greenbacks
3.  Real property…perhaps land or buildings
4.  The determined value of labor or services

If someone is convicted of theft in California, they could face up to 364 days in county jail and up to a $1000 fine.  Even petty theft (value less than $950.00) can carry a sere penalty.  The time is NOW to contact San Jose criminal defense attorney William Chestnut.  Bill will use his 40+ years of defending Californians against a charge of theft.  Call him today at (480) 298-6990.
