Call Van Severen Law Office at (414) 270-0202 to discuss robbery, burglary, or criminal damage to property
Milwaukee criminal defense law firm Van Severen Law Office defends individuals charged with property crime. Property crimes are those that generally involve the taking of the property of another. Property crimes range from misdemeanors to felonies. Common examples of property crimes are theft, burglary, and robbery. Other property crimes like criminal damage to property don’t involve the taking of an item, but rather damage to that property.
No matter what you’re being charged with, your rights may have been violated. Police may have abused discretion, violated the constitution, or simply lied. We certainly believe it’s important that you fight these issues with assistance from an experienced Milwaukee criminal defense attorney. Not all defense attorneys posses the same skills or are able to effectively fight for your rights. The defense lawyers at Van Severen Law Office can.
Property crimes become even more serious when weapons are involved or when the taking of property is directly from the victim. Crimes involving weapons or direct contact with a victim are often more aggravated. They also add a layer of emotion to the case. In these circumstances, our defense attorneys believe it’s even more important to have a skilled criminal lawyer on your side.
Theft involves stealing property or services from another. With theft, like criminal damage to property, punishments are defined by the value of the property involved. Secondly, theft is a misdemeanor if the value is under $2,500.00. This crime is a felony in a few cases:
The value of the property exceeds $2,500.00; or
The defendants takes property from a corpse; or
Other aggravating circumstances
