Defending Cal State Pomona* Students Against Theft Charges
Whether you are a good person who made a bad decision, or you have been wrongly accused of theft, you need the help of a knowledgeable lawyer to fight for you.
You deserve a second chance - a cleared name.
For CSUP* students arrested for or accused of any theft charge, David J. Givot, of the Law Office of David J. Givot is The Legal Guardian and we will do more than just help you through.
We will carefully and methodically examine the charges and the evidence against you. If law enforcement has not done everything necessary to convict you in front of a jury, beyond a reasonable doubt, then we will attack the charges from every available angle to achieve the best possible result. Even more importantly, we will vigilantly consider how any resolution will affect your professional, educational, and/or personal future.
If you hire the right attorney, a theft charge doesn't have to ruin your life.
Theft Includes a Range of Offenses
I handle a variety of cases involving theft crimes, including:
- Shoplifting
- Identity theft
- Credit card theft
- Car theft
- Check theft
- White collar crimes
Whether a theft offense is charged as a misdemeanor or felony partially depends on the value of the property taken, whether force was used and if you have any prior convictions. Penalties if convicted can include jail time, state prison, fines, counseling and restitution. It can also affect immigrants attempting to obtain a visa, green card, naturalization or simply remain in the United States.
Because so much is at stake, you need a skillful defense lawyer on your side, making sure your rights are protected. I am that lawyer.
Many theft crimes are considered "crimes of moral turpitude." Therefore, if you have a conviction on your record, many Colleges & Universities will expel you or deny you acceptance. Likewise, state license boards can deny application for or revoke licenses, including contractor, nursing, paramedic or real estate licenses.
