Possible Sentencing for Theft Crime Convictions

When it comes to theft crimes, the severity of the charges depends on the valuation of what was stolen. Theft crime convictions valued at less than $1,500 of stolen goods would typically be charged as a misdemeanor. This would be punishable by no more than 1 year in county jail and a $4,000 fine, though sentencing could be much more lenient, especially if the amount stolen was less than $500.

For theft involving $1,500 or more, the offense will be charged as a felony. If it’s a state jail felony, it could mean up to 2 years in state jail and a $10,000 fine. If the theft involves $20,000 or more, it can be a third-degree felony with up to 10 years in prison. For six-figure theft or more, it can be a second-degree felony, with an up to 20-year prison sentence, while it is possible to get a first-degree felony charge for theft involving $200,000 or more. This could mean being sentenced to 5 to 99 years in prison.

Deferred Prosecution Juvenile Assault
Our client was a juvenile who got into altercation with a classmate on school grounds and was charged with assault. We know the stress of facing a charge at a young age is a lot for a family to navigate without assistance and can come with severe repercussions. We took the challenge to the State to prove its case while keeping the family involved.
Case Dismissed Theft
Our client, a legal permanent resident, was charged with stealing clothing at Macy’s. The State offered our client an initial plea deal. However, due to her immigration status, we advised our client that it was in her best interest to fight this case the whole way.
Case Dismissed POCS Felony
Our client was charged with a State Jail Felony while stopped for traffic violation in Williamson County. The officers searched the car and found THC oil pens. He was arrested for a felony. We found issues with the search and our investigation uncovered additional issues with the investigation. We pressed the prosecutor on these issues and, coupled with the clean UA’s we had our client take, the case was dismissed.
Case Dismissed Assault Family Violence
Our client received an arrest warrant for an alleged assault on his brother’s girlfriend. He needed the warrant cleared so that he could be considered for a job he was applying for. Our firm worked with his brother’s girlfriend and found inconsistencies between her statements and those made by our client, his brother, and another eyewitness. We challenged the State’s attorney on these inconsistencies and case was ultimately dismissed.
Case Dismissed Possession of Controlled Substance
Our client was pulled over for expired registration. Police smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle and conducted a probable cause search. Police found marijuana and pills containing a controlled substance, and the State charged our client with a felony. Our client was already facing multiple misdemeanor charges in another county.
Case Dismissed Assault with a Deadly Weapon
Our client, a retired Marine, was out with some friends one night when he got into a fight at a gas station. He allegedly pulled out a knife and left the scene. Moments later, law enforcement pulled him over. He was charged with misdemeanor DWI, felony Assault with a Deadly Weapon, and two counts of felony Terroristic Threat.
