Theft and property crimes, including robbery, burglary and shoplifting, are offenses that can carry significant penalties for those who are convicted. These charges are also enhanceable offenses, which means that certain circumstances - such as the use of a gun or the amount of property that is stolen - can increase the charges and the possible penalties, including large fines and jail time.

Defending yourself against these charges and their potential penalties is important, and hiring an attorney is the best way to ensure that your rights are protected. At the Frazier Law Firm, lawyer Danny Frazier has provided criminal defense to clients throughout the state of Utah for more than 22 years. He will work hard to get the charges against you reduced or dismissed.

Theft, Robbery and Burglary

At the Frazier Law Firm, we provide criminal defense for a wide variety of property crimes, including:

Burglary: In a burglary, the suspect breaks into and enters a person's home or a business with the intent to commit theft. No theft actually has to occur in order for a burglary to have taken place.

Robbery: In a robbery, the suspect uses force or the threat of force to take property or compel a person to give property. As with a burglary, no actual theft has to occur for robbery to have taken place. Robbery charges can be increased if a weapon is used or if a victim is seriously injured or killed.

Shoplifting and other theft: When a person takes the property of another without authority, it can be considered theft. The amount of property taken and other circumstances of the theft are considered when charges are brought, and charges can range from misdemeanors to felonies.

Any criminal charge is serious, whether it is a Class B misdemeanor or a Class A felony, and deserves experienced and knowledgeable criminal defense.
