- Shoplifting
- Armed robbery
- Embezzlement
- Burglary
- Check fraud
- Carjacking
- Stolen checks or credit cards
- Identity theft
- Receiving stolen property
- Many other types of theft
Maryland Felony Theft Defense
Unlawfully taking goods and services worth $500 or more constitutes felony theft and can result in stiff criminal penalties such as:
- Years of prison time
- Steep fines
- Restitution to the victim
- Loss of professional licenses
- Loss of driving privileges
- Community service
- Probation
- The inability to obtain certain types of employment
- Termination of employment
- Counseling
- Other harsh criminal penalties
The severity of these punishments and the long-lasting consequences of a felony conviction make it essential for anyone facing felony theft charges to have the legal counsel of an experienced Maryland felony theft attorney. A felony conviction on theft or any other type of charges can affect your ability to obtain a loan, attend college, prevent you from lawfully owning a firearm, and result in the loss of your voting privileges. Further, a felony conviction will cause your credibility to be questioned in direct and indirect ways for the rest of your life.
