Thefts

From Petty Theft to Grand Theft

Theft crimes can have serious implications for your life. Convictions for crimes ranging from shoplifting to grand theft auto all can carry with them criminal penalties. These crimes also have other consequences that affect a person's ability to obtain a job or earn a professional license.

Contact attorney Joshua M. Bowland P.C., in Salt Lake City, Utah, to learn more defending yourself against a theft crime. My firm represents people charged with a crime in both Utah state and federal court. It is important to speak to an attorney immediately after the state charges you with a theft offense.

As a federally appointed public CJA attorney, I, Joshua M. Bowland have the legal experience necessary to defend you aggressively against theft charges.

Given the severity of criminal penalties for a theft conviction, it is important that you understand the variety of alternative sentencing options available. We will work with the prosecution and judge to seek a plea in abeyance, a minimal fine, house arrest, a reduced sentence, or other diversionary program.

Even if the police obtain evidence against you, it does not mean that it is admissible in court. I will challenge the validity of a search warrant, the seizure of evidence, and police procedures. This can be critical to the ultimate success of your case.
