ANNA SCHMALZ: We have a tremendous amount of experience in theft-related cases, from working something out so that the client has the least amount of exposure in a conviction to also going to trial on these theft cases. So the chance that we have seen your case is very likely. And we are prepared to defend it. The penalty of a theft crime depends on the amount of the value that has been taken. If the item is under $500, it's a misdemeanor. Anything over that, it would be a felony. It also depends on if any violence was used while committing this theft offense. In Ohio, all of the county prosecutors take a tough stance on crime. They take these cases seriously. And they prosecute them to the full extent of the law. So you need somebody on your side who is going to vigorously defend your case. You shouldn't wait until the police arrest you to get a lawyer. You can have a lawyer with you at any time. And I strongly advise that you do. You are never going to talk the police out of arresting you or investigating you. So it is always in your best interest to have a lawyer sitting next to you making sure that your rights are protected. The police are not joking when they tell you that anything you say can and will be used against you. If you have any indication that the police are investigating you or consider you a suspect in a crime, don't talk to anybody. Give us a call. And we will help you with your case right away.
