The term “theft crime” can cover a great number of criminal offenses, all of which may be serious and give rise to strict penalties. Inland Empire criminal defense attorneys at the Law Offices of Rizio & Nelson handle all types of theft crime cases, including:
 Petty theft / grand theft
Grand theft auto (auto theft)
Carjacking
Robbery
Burglary
Shoplifting
Fraud crimes
Accounting fraud
Bank fraud
Credit card fraud
Government fraud
Wire fraud

Punishment for these crimes can vary, from community service or counseling to a state prison term. By consulting a knowledgeable Inland Empire defense lawyer, a person who has been charged with theft can help make certain that he or she does not get the state-maximum penalties. At the least, an experienced and insistent attorney may be able to get a reduction in the penalty phase. Under ideal circumstances, an attorney might be able to obtain an acquittal or a dismissal of charges before the case even goes to trial.
