Theft Crimes

Petty Theft • Grand Theft • Fraud
Embezzlement • Burglary

At GLOTZER and ASSOCIATES, our attorneys have over 30 years of combined experience. Our knowledge and experience gives us the ability to handle a vast array of criminal matters including embezzlement, fraud, grand theft, burglary and other theft crimes. 

In a standard theft case, there are two categories of theft:  petty theft and grand theft.  Petty theft is usually charged as a misdemeanor (unless a person has prior petty theft convictions) and is defined as stolen property worth less than $400.00.  Penalties for petty theft can include up to 6 months in jail and a fine.  Grand theft can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony and includes stolen property with a value exceeding $400.00.   If you are convicted of grand theft, you can face jail or even prison time. 

In California there are a number of crimes which fall into the category of theft including but not limited to fraud, burglary, check forgery, check kiting, extortion, burglary and even shoplifting.  If you have been arrested or charged with a theft crime, you need the expertise of GLOTZER and ASSOCIATES to maximize the outcome of your case.

Our office recently successfully defended a major fraud/embezzlement matter in Riverside where our client was accused of embezzling millions of dollars in a fraud scheme.  All of the felony charges were dismissed and no jail time was imposed.  These cases can be successfully defended with hard work from an experienced and aggressive law firm like GLOTZER and ASSOCIATES.
