Theft Crimes
According to statistics, crimes such as burglary and theft are the most common types of crimes in the city. Terminology related to theft crimes can be confusing and it is always beneficial to have a knowledgeable attorney on your side to explain your charges. Please continue reading for definitions of and a breakdown of the crimes related to theft.

Robbery occurs when another individual attempts to or succeeds in removing the personal possessions from another through use of violence or threats. Burglary is the act of breaking into and entering a property or dwelling with the intention to commit theft or another felony. Burglary is unique in that the court system does not have to prove that you stole anything or committed another felony. The prosecution only needs to establish that you entered into a place unlawfully with the intention of committing a crime.

Finally, theft is defined as the actual taking of objects with the intention of permanently removing them from the owner's possession. To put it simply, people are robbed, places are burgled and objects are the victim of theft. In 2012, there were nearly 500 crimes related to theft in Garden City.

About Driving Under the Influence

A charge of DUI is a serious crime, though many are quick to dismiss the repercussions of an arrest of driving under the influence. In the state, for a first time DUI offender the penalty is a $300-$1000 fine and jail time of ten days to 12 months. In addition, the court could ask you to complete 40 hours of community service, a risk reduction program, and suspend your license for one year. Whether you are convicted of a first time DUI or a felony DUI the legal team will provide you with the information and representation you need to combat charges. Refusing to take a blood or breath test or failing the tests can result in an automatic licenses suspension.

    Past Client
    “Went above my expectations”
    "Each person I spoke with was able to answer my questions. I did not know what to anticipate, as I had never needed to use an attorney in the past; however, they did go above my expectations. I cannot praise Carli enough. She was patient, non-judgmental, efficient, and able to answer any question I had. As I live out of town and was very nervous and naïve about all of this, I could not have received any better representation."
