Ward Stafford Clay, Attorney at Law, has defended individuals throughout the San Diego County area charged with property crimes or embezzlement since 1991. Whether you have been charged with petty theft or grand theft, it pays to have an experienced criminal defense attorney organize and defend your case from the beginning.
In California, a petty theft conviction can include jail time of up to one year. A grand theft conviction is a felony offense that can lead to incarceration in a state or federal prison. Even a petty theft conviction can severely damage your reputation. Employers, lenders, educational administrators and military recruiters view applicants with criminal records, especially those with theft crimes, as very untrustworthy individuals.
You need legal representation that can defend your rights and your reputation from the damaging consequences of a shoplifting, burglary, auto theft, bribery, counterfeiting, embezzlement, bank fraud, credit card fraud, check fraud, mail fraud, money laundering and other financial crimes charge.
