Connecticut Larceny Charge Attorneys

There are a number of theft-related offenses that can lead to criminal charges in Connecticut, among the common are:

Beyond these offenses, there are six degrees of larceny that you can be charged with depending largely on the value of the items that were allegedly stolen, and on the conduct of how the offense took place. For example, the degree you are charged with may be influenced by having committed theft from a vehicle or if the theft involved an individual who is considered vulnerable, such as those over the age of 65 or someone who is blind. Our attorneys will be able to provide you with more information on what exactly you are being charged with and which penalties you may be facing.

In addition to the penalties listed above, a larceny conviction can impact your ability to get a job in the future. Employers are particularly concerned with this conviction because they need to protect their property and other assets. A larceny conviction could prevent an employer from hiring you and it is therefore important to fight the charge with the help of our attorneys as soon as possible.

Building a strong larceny defense case requires a comprehensive approach aimed at challenging the prosecution's evidence and presenting a compelling argument in your favor. Firstly, a skilled criminal defense attorney will thoroughly examine the facts of the case, scrutinize the evidence, and assess any potential weaknesses or inconsistencies. They will gather all relevant information, including witness statements, surveillance footage, or expert testimony, to build a robust defense strategy. This may involve challenging the credibility or reliability of the prosecution's witnesses, scrutinizing the chain of custody of the alleged stolen property, or disputing the intent element required for a larceny conviction. Additionally, exploring potential defenses such as mistaken identity, lack of evidence, or establishing lawful ownership can be instrumental in building a strong defense. With a strategic approach, attention to detail, and extensive knowledge of the law, our skilled attorneys will vigorously advocate for your rights, striving to achieve the best possible outcome in your larceny defense case.
