Our Firm’s Approach to Maryland Theft Cases

Our firm’s approach to Maryland theft cases is to attempt to minimize the potential consequences and to collaborate to make this happen. Additionally, not only do we try to fight for an optimal outcome, but we want to keep you informed throughout the process, even though it could be frightening, overwhelming, and intimidating. This helps provide as much peace of mind as possible. More importantly, our seasoned attorneys could work to fight the allegations of theft against you.

How an Attorney Could Help Mitigate Potential Consequences

A person charged with any theft charge should contact Maryland lawyers because they are all criminal charges, which means they could have severe consequences. Even a person charged with misdemeanor theft may still potentially face jail time and be subject to probation. In addition, if a person is convicted, they are going to have this theft charge on their record long after they served time in jail time, their probation is complete, and they paid any court costs or restitution. This individual may have to explain their criminal record on every job application, housing application, and for any background check or security clearance. Because theft is considered to contain elements of fraud or dishonesty, this could impact how others view an individual in addition to them facing the stigma of having a criminal record.

One approach that our Maryland attorneys take when preparing a theft case is trying to minimize these consequences. One way an experienced lawyer may do this is by negotiating to have the case prosecuted on a diversion docket so that the charges may be dismissed.

Additionally, our team members know what arguments to make, how to get a case thrown out, and how to get evidence suppressed that leads to the case being thrown out. If these options are not possible for a case, an attorney also could negotiate a deal that the defendant would not otherwise be able to do if they went in without legal representation.

What Makes Our Approach Unique?

What makes this firm’s approach to theft cases unique and effective is that our team members have tremendous experience. Our attorneys have combined decades of experience in Maryland courts throughout the state and the suburbs of DC. Our lawyers know the differences between the different counties, courthouses, and jurisdictions, and they have relationships with the judges and prosecutors in those offices. The attorneys, with that local knowledge, know what to expect, what not to expect, and how to use those relationships strategically to get a desirable outcome for the defendant.

Another aspect of our approach that is unique is that the lawyers collaborate. While one attorney may represent a defendant, there still is plenty of time spent brainstorming, conversing, and idea-sharing with other attorneys. Even though someone may have one attorney representing them in court, communicating with them, and taking on their case, that lawyer would be able to utilize the brain trust not only of their skills and experience but of their colleagues as well. There is a much greater wealth of knowledge and experience that a defendant may not otherwise get at smaller firms.
