PROPERTY CRIMES

If you are charged with a property crime, you need an attorney who understands the legal issues and can raise valid defenses.

• Cases are filed where the facts show nothing more than a disagreement or dispute about property rights.
• Prosecutors and law enforcement have even been known to use the criminal justice system as a collection agency in civil disputes.
• Serious property crimes are often alleged in the course of divorce and domestic disagreements where two people have competing claims regarding their rights to possess or occupy property.

These cases are serious, but there are often solid defenses that a qualified attorney can assert for you. Don't make the mistake of just pleading guilty.
