Theft Charges

Law Office of John Stanko — Marin County - SF Bay Area Theft Defense

There are many types of theft crimes in California ranging from petty theft to burglary, identity theft and robbery. A conviction for any theft crime in Marin County, Vallejo or San Francisco could result in a wide range of punishment. Petty theft can be charged as an infraction, similar to a traffic ticket, or a misdemeanor with possible county jail time. A petty theft with a prior is a felony and carries possible state prison time. Theft crimes like forgery and identity theft have become more common in Oakland, Sonoma County and the entire Bay Area in recent times. Each of those crimes can carry serious consequences.

Further, theft crimes are considered crimes of moral turpitude and can have serious implications for non-citizens. Moreover, a conviction can impact future employment possibilities. Prospective employers routinely conduct background checks and may deny employment due to a criminal record of theft.

The Law Office of John Stanko defends clients against all theft charges including:

  • Petty theft
  • Forgery
  • Embezzlement
  • Burglary
  • Identify theft

When I first called John Stanko for his services, he was professional and courteous. Although I was a first time client, he accommodated me to make the process as easy as possible. John was very prompt in returning my phone calls and followed up with my cases in a timely manner. I had several cases in two counties along with a suspended license case which John took care of.
