New York City Theft and Shoplifting Attorneys
Larceny is simply theft — taking something that does not belong to you. Larceny can take many different forms, from shoplifting to car jacking to sophisticated forms of fraud.
The attorneys of Getz & Braverman, P.C., defend clients facing charges in all types of larceny, including those involving:
- Retail theft
- Employee theft
- Car theft
- Credit card fraud
- Criminal impersonation
- Check fraud
- Welfare fraud
- Medicare fraud
- Embezzlement
- Tax fraud
- Theft of services
If the value of the property stolen is less than $1,000, the theft is considered a petit larceny. If the value is more than $1,000 it is considered a grand larceny. The consequences of conviction for larceny increase with the value of the property. Consequences are more severe depending on what you are accused of stealing, from scientific secrets to firearms. Any item taken through extortion is charged as a felony.
