Nebraska Defense Lawyers for Property Crimes
Robbery, Burglary & Theft
Criminal charges for robbery, burglary, and theft label people and their records as being violent. Sometimes exceptions are made, and clients are allowed to participate in diversionary programs as opposed to facing felony charges. If you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, then you have a defensible case. Just because somebody in your group decides to break the law, that does not mean that you, too, are breaking the law.
Shoplifting and theft are misdemeanors that may also be considered for diversionary treatment. Repeated offenses can carry harsher penalties.

How It Works?
If you have been charged with theft or are being investigated by law enforcement as a suspect in a theft case, you need to speak with an experienced defense lawyer as soon as possible.
If you are found guilty of a theft charge, you will likely be facing a fine, possible jail time, and, what’s worse, a criminal record. When you have a theft charge on your record, finding employment can be very difficult.
