Minneapolis Theft Defense Lawyers

The DeGree Law Office aims to make clients feel comfortable in an undoubtedly uncomfortable situation. We will not judge you on the basis of a theft or embezzlement charge, and we fight for our clients' rights in Minneapolis, St. Paul and throughout Minnesota.

Theft and embezzlement cover a wide variety of crimes including check fraud, credit card fraud, identity theft, shoplifting, and auto or property theft. These are all serious charges, and a conviction for theft or embezzlement can have a long-lasting impact. We are especially attuned to how juvenile offenders may be impacted by a shoplifting or other theft charge.

Simple theft is often thought of as a blue-collar crime, while embezzlement is often considered a white-collar crime. Both carry significant penalties. The consequences of a conviction for theft or embezzlement can include fines, restitution, and jail or prison time. Depending on the severity and details of the crime, you could possibly face harsh federal charges.
