Theft Lawyer Maple Grove, MN
We’ve often found that police and prosecutors become overzealous when charging someone with theft. Because the degree of the charge, and whether it’s a misdemeanor or a felony, is based on the value of items alleged to have been stolen, it’s not unusual for this value to be inflated. With our years of experience as a prosecutor, our Maple Grove theft lawyer understands how police and the D.A. build cases against people like you, and the arguments that they will make to convict you.
We independently investigate the charges against you, gathering evidence that can prove your innocence. We may also challenge the alleged value of the goods; for example, we may be able to knock down a felony to a misdemeanor. And most importantly, we review every aspect of the police investigation, arrest, and any questioning, to ensure your civil rights weren’t violated.
Our firm handles all the legal matters related to your case, seeking the best outcome for you and ensuring that you weren’t unfairly treated. We believe everyone is innocent until proven guilty, and every step we take on your behalf reflects this.
