Theft charges range from misdemeanor shoplifting to felony grand theft that can follow you for life. Attorney Tyler Williams fights to protect your record and your future.
Theft charges across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties are prosecuted aggressively, and even a misdemeanor petit theft conviction can show up on background checks for years. Under Florida Statute 812.014, petit theft (property valued under $750) is a misdemeanor, while grand theft (property valued at $750 or more) is a felony ranging from third-degree to first-degree depending on the value and circumstances.
I understand the diversion programs and withhold-of-adjudication options available across South Florida courts, and I fight to keep convictions off your record wherever possible.
Petit theft (under $750): second-degree misdemeanor (first offense), first-degree (second). Grand theft ($750+): third-degree felony, up to 5 years. Grand theft ($100,000+): first-degree felony, up to 30 years.
