The Consequences of a Conviction
A conviction for theft in Las Cruces can lead to severe consequences, including:
- Jail time or prison sentences, depending on the severity of the theft.
- Substantial fines and possibly the requirement to pay restitution to the victim.
- A criminal record can make finding employment, securing housing, or pursuing educational opportunities more difficult.
Beyond these immediate legal penalties, the long-term implications of a theft conviction can be equally daunting. A criminal record can tarnish your reputation, leading to social stigma and personal challenges. It can also restrict your rights, such as voting or owning firearms, and affect future opportunities.
At The Benjamin Law Firm, we understand the gravity of these consequences and will work diligently to defend your rights and protect your future.
Defense Strategies for Theft Charges
Our experienced Las Cruces theft crimes lawyer relies on various defense tactics, such as:
- Lack of intent: Demonstrating that you did not intend to steal or permanently deprive the owner of their property.
- Mistaken identity: Arguing that the victim or law enforcement mistook you for the perpetrator.
- Right of ownership: Claiming that you believed in good faith that you had a right to the property.
Employing these and other defenses requires a deep understanding of the law and each case’s specifics. Trust Brock Benjamin to review the evidence, craft a personalized defense strategy, and defend your freedom.
