Theft, Fraud, and Robbery

---

If you have been arrested for a theft crime, it is likely that you are facing many questions and concerns about your rights and future. Whether you are being charged for grand theft or a less severe offense such as shoplifting, take action immediately to ensure your rights are defended and your future is safeguarded.

It is imperative that you retain the supportive assistance, personalized legal solutions, and aggressive representation.

Due to the serious and complex nature of theft offenses, we strongly advise you against facing the legal system alone. Without the assistance of an experienced theft defense attorney, it could be difficult to reach a favorable outcome in your case. 

 Nebraska laws state that an individual is guilty of theft if the individual exercises control over another's property without their knowledge or permission and without the intent to return the stolen goods or services to the proper owner.

If you are found guilty of committing one of the aforementioned offenses, you may be sentenced with:

• Exorbitant fines
• Restitution
• Lengthy jail or prison sentence

In addition, you will have a permanent stain on your criminal record that could make it challenging to secure future employment. 

Your penalties will be contingent upon:

• The value of the stolen goods
• The amount of stolen goods
• Whether or not force or fear were used to steal the goods or services

Do not risk your future opportunities by sitting back and waiting for your charges to blow over. Secure the tenacious representation of Chad Wythers.
