Defending Shoplifting, Petit Larceny and Grand Larceny Charges
In New York, alleged theft of property worth less than $1,000 is charged as petit larceny, a misdemeanor offense. If the value of the property is $1,000 or more, the charge is grand larceny, which is a felony. Both charges carry the potential of a jail sentence.
Kevin Kearon will review the evidence in your case, including any available video evidence. He will also review any legal issues which could result in a dismissal of the charge. In many cases, he has been able to obtain dismissals or reductions in charges to lesser offenses. It may be possible to obtain an ACOD (adjournment in contemplation of dismissal), particularly in cases involving a first-time petit larceny offense. This can avoid a conviction and jail time, often in return for community service. If you qualify and want this outcome, Kevin Kearon will negotiate with the prosecutor on your behalf.
Felony charges may require a different approach. Kevin Kearon will examine the factual and legal issues in your case and explain your legal options. Whatever course of action you choose, Kevin Kearon will work aggressively to achieve your goal.
