Memphis Theft Crime Defense Attorney
Defense for theft, shoplifting, burglary, and property crimes.
Understanding Theft Crimes Charges
Theft charges in TN range from shoplifting misdemeanors to felony grand larceny and burglary. A theft conviction creates a "crime of dishonesty" on your record—devastating for employment, professional licenses, and immigration status. The Case Firm understands what's at stake and works tirelessly to avoid conviction. We negotiate restitution agreements, seek diversion programs, and when necessary, take cases to trial to fight for dismissal or acquittal.
