Get the best chance of receiving a charge reduction or diversion with help from Costa Mesa CA petty theft attorney Dan E. Chambers

Possible Defenses for Petty Theft
Depending on how many priors you may have and the strength of the prosecution’s evidence, it may be in your best interests to enter a guilty plea and seek a deal. In other cases, you may want to fight back in court. As your Costa Mesa CA petty theft lawyer, Dan will work hard to gather evidence to support the defense that applies to your case:
- 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
