Theft Results

Our client, a young woman from Azusa, was arrested and cited for misdemeanor Petty Theft Charge, a violation of California Penal Code section 484. She was afraid of the impact this would have had on her life both in the short-term (possibility of jail time or years of probation) and in the long-term (destructive impact on her ability to find gainful employment). She had visited other attorneys who basically told her she should resign herself to being convicted and doing jail time. Our West Covina Petty Theft Charges Dismissal Attorneys undertook an aggressive defense, leading to the total and complete dismissal of her charges upon the completion of a class. She was ecstatic at the results that we got her and is happy she found us.

After our attorneys went to bat for this client, the DA agreed to allow our client to pay restitution in exchange for no jail time, no community labor, and no probation. This is a huge success, especially given the amount in controversy and aggravating circumstances involved in the alleged crime.

Our client is a young man in the financial sector. He was apprehended for Petty Theft (violations of California Penal Code Sections 484(a) & 488 PC). If convicted, our client stood to lose not only his freedom (up to one year in the county jail!), but also the illustrious financial career for which he had worked so hard. Our West Covina petty theft charges defense attorneys sprung into action. We challenged the evidence against our client, as well as presented a series of mitigation factors to diminish the severity of the charge against our client. Sure enough, a judge at the Citrus Courthouse (West Covina Courthouse) DISMISSED the petty theft charges against our client (in favor of a minor infraction). In so doing, we were able to protect our client from the ruination of his life.

Our client, a former employee of a very well-known shipment and delivery company, was apprehended by loss prevention and subsequently the Baldwin Park Police Department for allegedly having stolen an iPhone (from a box intended to be shipped to a purchaser of this item) in violation of California Penal Code section 484(a). Due to his DACA status, our client was very anxious that this would impact his already-fragile immigration status of the United States. Our El Monte Courthouse Theft Charges Dismissal Attorneys went to work carefully investigating the allegations and then maneuvering for a complete dismissal of the charge. Before becoming a client, this gentleman had told us that other lawyers had told him it would be “impossible” to get the charge drop, and that he would inevitably have to serve some jail time, pay expensive restitution, and quite possibly be referred to the executive office of immigration review (EOIR) immigration court for deportation proceedings and similar dire predictions. What other attorneys found impossible, our El Monte criminal defense attorneys achieved, leveraging weaknesses in the prosecutor’s case against the DA. Sure enough, the court granted a total dismissal of the complaint. Our client is beyond ecstatic, and is extremely grateful for the results we were able to achieve on his behalf.

Our client, a DACA recipient, was accused by his former employer (a well-known shipping company) of stealing customer merchandise. When he came to us, he was very anxious about the possibility of deportation if he were to be convicted of theft, as well as his potential inability to secure future employment ever again (given that employers universally are repulsed by the idea of hiring dishonest staff or perceived to be dishonest due to a theft conviction). Understanding the sensitivity of his immigration situation, our El Monte Courthouse Petty Theft Defense Attorneys prepared and implemented a masterful lethal strategy that would bring a pretrial resolution to his case while at the same time ensuring that nothing would go on his record. Due to their brilliant negotiation skills, our El Monte theft charges attorneys worked out an informal diversion, the result of which will be a complete dismissal upon our client completing diversionary terms, i..e., some community service and obey all laws. No restitution necessary.

A young woman (nursing student) came to our office after having been arrested for Petty Theft (Shoplifting) under California Penal Code Section 484(a) and California Penal acode Section 488 PC. Our Rancho Cucamonga Courthouse petty theft defense attorneys swung into action, immediately intervening in advance of any criminal filing. Sure enough, the case was not charged and our client avoided jailtime and a conviction that could’ve resulted in her inability to practice her chosen vocation.

Our office was approached by a gentleman with quite the checkered past that included a bevy of criminal convictions (all through previous lawyers). Among these were the offenses (more than one) as well as a sex crime conviction that required him to register as a sex offender. However, these were part of a previous, darker chapter in our client’s life before he changed for the better. He is now a diligent and caring head of household and provider for his family. Despite his ascent from an ignominious past, our client found himself being severely limited on account of his criminal conviction, realizing that he was sufficiently educated and talented enough to obtain far better employment than what he had at the time he retained our services. Our West Covina Petty Theft, with the prior expungement attorneys went to work, gathering hey semblance of supporting documents that spoke volumes as to our client’s law-abiding nature as well as his decency and moral rectitude. We assembled a voluminous memorandum of points and authorities with a powerful legal argument that our client’s Penal Code section 666 conviction out to be expunged from his record under Penal Code section 1203.4 (a). Despite the odds against our client on account of a sex offender background (as well as the increased animosity against persons in the criminal justice system due to the general nationwide increase in crime), the court found that our client was sufficiently rehabilitated to justify the granting of his expungement petition. While this was a great milestone in his case (and our client is already extremely grateful for our successful outcome in his case, so far), we believe we’re are en route to ALSO petitioning him off the sex offender registry as soon as his eligibility date com
