Theft Charges

At J. Mark Howell Attorney at Law, P.C., we have defended hundreds of people facing accusations of robbery, shoplifting and other theft crimes in Decatur, Wise County and north Texas.

We have successfully represented people charged with property crimes like:

  • Theft
  • Shoplifting and retail theft
  • Car theft
  • Robbery
  • Burglary
  • Embezzlement
  • Money laundering
  • Identity theft

These offenses are not minor crimes. Even a simple shoplifting conviction can leave a lasting blemish on your criminal record and your ability to hold meaningful employment in your community. Many employers may see a theft conviction as a measure of your honesty and hesitate to hire someone with a criminal record.

To best protect yourself after being arrested for such a crime, avoid giving a statement before speaking with a knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer. Your attorney can communicate with investigators and prosecutors on your behalf.

We Will Get You Through It

At J. Mark Howell Attorney at Law, P.C., our extensive experience allows us to promptly and efficiently evaluate your case. Once we determine the strengths and weaknesses of your case, we can help you decide the best course of action to minimize the consequences of your charges.

Often, we are able to respond to our clients’ issues through negotiation with the prosecution. However, sometimes a tough case requires a tough fight. We have a record of success in trial, and we are tough advocates in court when it best serves our clients.
