New Jersey Theft Charge Defense Attorney

Experienced Defense on Theft Charges from Shoplifting to Embezzlement

The term "theft" covers a broad range of criminal charges: from writing bad checks and shoplifting to theft of an automobile and million-dollar embezzlement. The amount of the theft you're accused of - and whether you're facing charges in state or federal court - will determine the legal penalties you face. Penalties range from restitution and probation to years in prison.

I'm attorney Peter Polidoro. I've been defending people charged with crimes in New Jersey State and Federal Courts for many years. In addition, I have nearly 8 years of experience as a prosecuting attorney. That experience as a former prosecutor is a valuable benefit to my clients. I understand how prosecutors build their case and how New Jersey judges handle different cases. I worked in one of the busiest counties in the country, so I know my way around a courtroom.

I've handled thousands of cases. I defend people on any theft charge, including:

• White collar crime: usually involving fraud, such as credit card fraud, embezzlement, employee theft, identity theft, bankruptcy fraud, insurance fraud, welfare fraud, Medicare fraud, writing bad checks and extortion
• Robbery: is a theft that involves violence or the threat of violence and usually carries a higher penalty, up to 20 years in prison. Charges may involve armed robbery, purse snatching, carjacking or other theft offenses.
• Other theft offenses: I represent clients facing charges of burglary, shoplifting and receiving stolen property.

I represent juveniles, as well as adults, on theft charges in State and Federal Court. When facing theft charges, aggressive criminal defense is vital to your future. Contact my Fort Lee, New Jersey, theft defense law office for a prompt response.
