Theft & Property Crimes

A Real Trial Attorney

Protecting Your Rights and Reputation From Theft Charges

One simple mistake is enough to tarnish a clean record and make you a criminal in the eyes of the law and society. If you have been charged with theft or a similar property crime, it is crucial to have an experienced defense attorney fighting to protect your interests.

In Madison and surrounding Wisconsin communities, you can rely on me to limit your exposure to harsh criminal penalties and the collateral consequences of having a criminal record. I have more than 20 years of criminal defense experience and have served as a criminal prosecutor.

Defending Against All Types of Theft Crimes

I defend against a wide range of theft and property crimes in Wisconsin, including:

  • Burglary
  • Robbery
  • Grand theft
  • Petty theft
  • Shoplifting

 

Whether felony or misdemeanor, a conviction has the potential to haunt you long after you have served your time and paid your fines. Theft crimes are considered a breach of trust and reflect poorly on a person’s character in the eyes of employers, landlords and others.

Having a theft conviction on your record can limit your future opportunities and make life more difficult. Fortunately for you, it does not have to be this way. I know that good people can find themselves facing criminal charges and look forward to helping you protect your good name.
