Aggressive Representation for Theft or Burglary
Our Colorado Springs practice handles the full spectrum of property crimes:
- Shoplifting or employee theft
- Misdemeanor theft and grand larceny
- Bad checks/stolen checks
- Auto theft
- Burglary
- Receiving stolen property
- Identity theft
Burglary
Breaking into a house or building when a person is inside has the potential for violence. Even if no one was harmed or no property stolen, it can be charged as first degree burglary, a Class 3 felony with a mandatory sentence of 10 to 32 years in prison.
As a former county prosecutor himself, David Foley understands how these cases are handled by a district attorney. Prosecutors are usually willing to strike a favorable plea bargain and Mr. Foley is skilled at negotiating jail in lieu of prison, or even probation.
Theft
Most theft cases can be resolved by "making the victim whole" through restitution. In cases involving auto theft or grand theft, Mr. Foley works to avoid mandatory jail or prison by working with prosecutors to reduce the charges or suggest alternatives.
Without proper representation, a burglary or larceny charge may carry severe penalties. We are confident we can spare you from the worst. Contact us today for a free initial consultation.
