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.

As your Los Angeles 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
- The evidence against you was obtained illegally
- It was a complete case of mistaken identity
