What is a Grand Larceny Lawyer?
A grand larceny lawyer deals specifically in law relating to grand larceny, which is a form of theft. A grand larceny lawyer may focus either on representing defendants or plaintiffs. In many cases, they will focus on a more broad branch of law, typically in relation to theft or felonies in general, with grand larceny cases being a specialty. Under law, there are various different types of theft, with grand larceny being only one type. Whether or not an individual is charged or found guilty of grand larceny as opposed to other forms of theft will depend on the type of property as well as the intent of the defendant. Generally speaking, grand larceny is defined as a type of theft that exceeds a specific monetary value. The value that separates grand larceny from larceny depends upon the jurisdiction. The theft can apply to many different types of property, including property such as jewelry, electronics, or straightforward cash. If more than one object is stolen, the value of all of the property together is the figure that will typically be used, rather than the value of each individual item. In other words, even if all of the individual pieces of property are relatively inexpensive, an individual can still be accused of grand larceny if the total value of all of the property added together exceeds the limit for grand larceny. A good example of this would be the theft of a CD case. While each individual CD may not be worth very much, when added together it is certainly possible that the total value of all of the CDs could be enough for the theft to constitute grand larceny. The value that is used in order to determine whether or not a theft should be considered grand larceny will depend on the state in which the offense was committed. Not all states separate larceny in this way, but those that do typically separate it into grand larceny and petty larceny, with petty larceny being the theft of property with a lower value. As an example, a state may set a five hundred dollars to be the limit. If property is stolen that is worth more than five hundred dollars, it would be considered grand larceny. If the value were less than five hundred, it would be considered petty larceny. Typically, grand larceny is considered a felony, while petty larceny is considered a misdemeanor. The legal punishment and employment repercussions of a felony are much worse.
What will be the charge for the theft?
Usually, there are only two ways to charge a Larceny offense - GRAND Larceny and PETIT Larceny. The difference bewtween them is the value of the goods that were stolen and this amount changes from state-to-state.
