The Law Office of Eric J. Dirga, PA
has experience representing
many people who have been accused of property crimes in the Central
Florida area such as
shoplifting, trespassing, stealing from theme parks (such as Disney, Sea
World, Universal), burglary of structures, dwellings, and cars (whether
occupied or not), etc.
These offenses have serious consequences if not handled properly.
A second theft conviction requires that your drivers license be
suspended and often times subsequent theft case defendants are facing a
jail sentence if convicted. Don't
be fooled: Many judges will give you a slap on your hand for a first
time shoplifting offense (although they do not take it lightly). Don't think that
a similar penalty will occur a second
time. Thirty day jail sentences for a second candy bar theft from
7-11 is not out of the ordinary. The court considers any
theft serious and repeat offenders have no excuses.
However, if properly handled, a qualifying
person can have their case dismissed by accepting different options or
establishing certain defenses.
There are several types of property crimes
that we handle that are listed to the left. Click on the one that
concerns you for more information.
