Examine Identification and Intent

Surveillance footage, transaction records, witness accounts, and communications may tell different parts of the story. Rob reviews whether the evidence identifies the right person and establishes the conduct and intent alleged. Questions about permission, ownership, or a misunderstanding must be assessed against the actual charge.

Review the Claimed Loss

The amount and source of an alleged loss deserve scrutiny. Receipts, inventory records, estimates, insurance information, and recovery of property may affect the financial picture. A careful review can identify disputed assumptions and help address restitution concerns as well as the prosecution’s theory.

Account for Employment and Background Checks

An allegation involving dishonesty can create concerns beyond the courtroom. Explain your job responsibilities, licensing issues, and other priorities early. Rob considers those circumstances when evaluating possible challenges and proposed resolutions, so decisions are made with the broader consequences in view.

Choose a Response Based on the Record

The appropriate course may involve challenging the evidence, negotiating a resolution, or preparing for trial. The recommendation depends on the strengths and weaknesses of the case. You receive an explanation of the work, available options, and fees before deciding how to proceed.

Questions About Theft & Property Crimes

Can You Review Surveillance Video?

Yes. Video should be considered with the complete timeline, identification evidence, and other records. Identify where footage exists and how it was obtained so its role in the case can be assessed.

What If I Disagree with the Value of the Property?

Explain the disagreement and identify supporting documents. The amount alleged and any requested restitution should be compared with reliable records rather than accepted without review.

Do You Handle Fraud and Embezzlement Allegations?

Yes. The fraud and white-collar defense page addresses matters involving financial records, account access, transactions, and alleged deception in more detail.
