THEFT CRIMES cover everything from a petty theft at a retail store, to stealing a vehicle, to embezzlement. There are literally dozens of other charges that can be referred to as theft crimes – burglary (of a business or residence), robbery, and passing bad checks. This large group of theft crimes includes a number of offenses that are “wobblers” (can be charged as misdemeanors or felonies); but some of these crimes can also become “strikes” (residential burglary and robbery).
FRAUD CRIMES are often complicated cases that include lots of documentation. Most of these are welfare fraud or insurance fraud matters. Many attorneys call these “paper cases,” and avoid them because they demand great organization and attention to detail. (Plus, they are not seen as “sexy” or “exciting” cases.) Donna L. Connally has been the primary San Bernardino criminal attorney on dozens of such cases. Call today for a free consultation, to talk about the skill and experience she can bring to your representation.
