Birmingham Property Crimes Attorneys
Our firm is focused on defending clients using our experience and thorough understanding of the law regarding property crimes in Alabama. We handle all misdemeanor and felony property crimes and theft-related cases, including:
- Shoplifting
- Burglary
- Vandalism
- Destruction of property
- Criminal mischief
In the case of a property crime, one of the main aspects of the case is proving the identify of the person who committed the illegal act. In some cases, such as shoplifting and retail theft, evidence is caught on camera. In others, police rely on witness testimony and other circumstantial evidence. Our firm will investigate this evidence and challenge any evidence that is faulty or has been obtained illegally.
The other main aspect of a property crime is the amount of property that has been stolen or destroyed. In Alabama, the classification of a property crime as a misdemeanor or felony will depend on the value of property involved. Our firm will also investigate or verify the claimed value of stolen goods to ensure that our clients are treated fairly.
