Theft Charges

The charge of theft is very serious because it is considered a crime of moral turpitude. A conviction for theft can disqualify you from certain professional licenses, some types of job opportunities and even jury service. The seriousness of the offense is generally determined by such factors as amount of loss, type of property alleged to have been taken and any special relationship between the accused and the accuser. Cases involving insufficient funds or hot checks still carry some of the same consequences.

The Law Office of Earl Dobson has the experience necessary to determine if the case against you warrants a trial or if plea negotiations are the most prudent legal path. Many theft allegations may be characterized as business conflicts or misunderstandings and these may be able to be resolved without further law enforcement intervention. For these cases where it is necessary to negotiate an outcome, Earl Dobson is aware of the programs available in Denton County that allow theft offenses to be resolved without a conviction.
