Fort Lauderdale Petty/Grand Theft Lawyer

Petty/Grand Theft Attorney in Fort Lauderdale

In the state of Florida, theft penalties are sorted by degrees according to the value of the stolen item(s).  When a person is accused of stealing property that is valued between $100.00 and $299.00, they can be charged with first degree petty theft, which carries a maximum penalty of one year in jail and $1,000.00 in fines.  If the property stolen is valued at less than $100.00, second degree petty theft charges will result.  A second degree petty theft conviction carries with it a maximum sentence of 60 days in jail and $500.00 in fines.  Any time a person is accused of stealing property that is valued at $300.00 or more, he or she will be charged with grand theft.  Grand theft is charged as a felony and can subject an accused to state-prison time.
