Theft, Shoplifting, and Stolen Property Crimes

Shoplifting Defense Lawyers You Can Count On

The consequences of a conviction for theft in Washington depend on what was stolen or embezzled, including the value of the property, the force used when stealing the property, and the type of victim. If the victim was a child or elderly person, the consequences will be different than if taken from a co-worker. Common examples of misdemeanor theft charges include shoplifting and check forgery or identity theft for an amount under $2,000. Felony theft charges are likely to be filed if the value of the property exceeds $2,000 and the victim was threatened or suffered injury during the theft. Armed robbery, auto theft, and bank fraud are examples of felony charges.
