Our Bloomington, MN theft lawyer is here to protect your rights and freedom. Call us today for a consultation.
Theft Charges In Minnesota Are Serious
Theft charges in Minnesota can be either a felony or a misdemeanor, depending on the value of the property. When the value of the stolen property is $1,000 or more, it’s considered a felony crime in the state, with a prison sentence of $20,000, thousands of dollars in fines, and often the requirement for the individual to repay every penny alleged to have been taken. Whether you faced overwhelming temptation and were impulsive, were caught up in someone else’s scheme, or made a serious judgment error and are facing felony charges, you deserve a strong, dedicated defense.
Our Bloomington theft defense attorneys know just how much is on the line for you, not just your immediate freedom, but your reputation and future, as well. Even once you’ve fairly served your time, the after-effects of a theft charge may continue to haunt you. Many jobs may be closed to you now; in the financial sector, having a theft charge on your record may make employers hesitant to hire you. And, your eligibility for financial aid for college could be affected, if you have a felony charge on your record.
One of the most valuable things our firm has to offer is our experience working on the other side.

We investigate the matter and question all the evidence the prosecution has against you. Our firm has extensive resources to devote to your freedom, and we inspect each detail in our quest to keep you out of prison.
