Theft, Fraud & Embezzlement

Seattle Theft Defense Lawyer

If you’ve been charged with, or are under investigation for, theft, fraud, or forgery, you need to take it seriously. Don't assume that a theft citation will be treated like a traffic citation. Theft has become a significant national problem and courts have responded swiftly with stiff new penalties and far-reaching consequences.

Property crimes carry a stigma of dishonesty that will follow you the rest of your life. A conviction that shows up on a background check may prevent you from getting or renewing a professional license, a job, an apartment, a security clearance, or even entry into the military or college. Not to mention the possibility of substantial jail time, fines, or deportation if you’re not a citizen.

Don’t make any assumptions about what will happen to you just because you have no criminal record; act promptly to protect your freedom. Please contact me immediately for your free initial consultation to discuss how we will fight your case.

Most cases of theft require the government to prove criminal intent. This means that the government must not only prove what happened, it also has to prove what you intended at the time of the offense. I know how to effectively challenge evidence of intent in any type of theft or fraud case, from the simplest petty theft to the residential burglary to the most complex federal conspiracy for wire fraud. Examples of cases that I handle:

  • Petty or grand theft
  • Residential burglary
  • Federal Conspiracy for Wire or Mail Fraud
  • Fraud (credit card, securities, investment, insurance, mail)
  • Forgery
  • Embezzlement
  • Identity Theft

Don’t underestimate the seriousness of these types of offenses. The stakes are much higher than they may seem, and the pressure is on to get tough on white collar criminals. Don’t become an example case for the court; act quickly to protect your interests. As an experienced Theft, Fraud and "white collar" criminal attorney, I know how to fight these cases. Give me a call for a free consultation so that we can discuss how we will fight the charges.
