Get the best chance of receiving a charge reduction or diversion with help from Anaheim CA petty theft attorney Dan E. Chambers
Although the penalties for a first-time petty theft conviction may not seem too daunting, each subsequent conviction brings harsher penalties until some individuals may end up facing felony charges and up to 3 years in federal prison. This means it is important to fight every charge against you with the help of an expert petty theft attorney in Anaheim CA.
Why Choose Dan E. Chambers as your Petty Theft Lawyer in Anaheim CA
Hiring an expert petty theft lawyer in Anaheim CA rather than getting a public defender or waiving the right to representation is a very good idea. First of all, charge reduction and diversion are not automatic, but instead awarded at the discretion of the prosecutor. This means that you often need a persuasive attorney like Dan to convince the prosecution you deserve these privileges. Secondly, by hiring Dan as your Anaheim CA petty theft attorney you know you will be getting a truly dedicated professional on your side, not some overworked public defender who is just going through the motions. Dan gives his cell phone number to every client and handles every case personally from start to finish, devoting ample time to all the activities needed to build a solid case for your defense.
Possible Defenses for Petty Theft
If it is your first time being charged with petty theft, it is probably in your best interests to enter a guilty plea and go the charge reduction or diversion route. However, if the evidence against you is not strong, or if you already have one conviction, Dan E. Chambers can help you prepare an expert defense. Here are some of the most common defenses that an Anaheim CA petty theft lawyer might explore:
- You did not intend to steal or shoplift the item
- The item actually belonged to you or you reasonably believed it did
- The person who owned the item consented to you taking it
- The evidence against you was obtained illegally
- It was a complete case of mistaken identity
