Cases involving property can become very complex when dealing with the value of property which is stolen or damaged and the amount of restitution that is ordered. Restitution is compensation for the loss caused to another. It is important to hire an attorney who has experience dealing with these types of cases.
If you have been charged with a property-related crime, we will thoroughly review your case with you and make sure you understand all of your rights, including your right to have a trial. If you are convicted of a property-related crime, you have a right to dispute the amount of restitution that is being sought by the alleged victim. Contact us for a free consultation.
