Petit Theft

Fort Myers Petit Theft Defense Attorney

Defending Your Freedom & Rights

Petit theft and grand theft are defined in terms of the value of property stolen. If the property was worth less than $300 it is considered petty theft. For theft crimes above the value of $300 it is considered grand theft. Grand theft is usually charged as a felony while petty theft is considered a misdemeanor. There are, of course, exceptions to both of these such as in the case of having prior petit theft convictions.

If you are charged with multiple petit theft crimes, you could be facing 5 years in prison and hefty fines.
