California property crimes, including theft, robbery, burglary and fraud charges, are among the most common criminal charges filed in the Los Angeles area.
Frequently, theft charges rely on evidence seized by police, either through a search warrant, car stop or search of a defendant and his or her possessions. Other times, theft crimes rely on the testimony of an eye-witness, one of the most notoriously unreliable sources in criminal law.
Los Angeles Defense Lawyer Daniel E. Kann has defended hundreds of clients from theft-related charges throughout the greater Los Angeles area, including Ventura, Orange, Kern, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.
The Law Offices of Daniel E. Kann will use every weapon at our disposal to fight for your rights, including challenging the legality of search or the admissibility of evidence, investigating your case, seeking a reduction or dismissal of the charges or preparing your case for trial.
Frequently the value of an item can determine whether you are charged with a misdemeanor or felony. By challenging the value or ownership and possession of stolen goods, we have successfully fought for a reduction of charges or even a dismissal of the case against our clients.
In other cases, where the threat or use of force is alleged, or when a defendant is accused of using a weapon in the commission of a property crime, more serious charges may apply. By challenging the evidence, Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney Daniel E. Kann has successfully resolved hundreds of these cases to the satisfaction of his clients.
