Nevada theft crimes include but are not limited to:

• Shoplifting
• Petit larceny
• Grand Larceny
• Grand Larceny Auto
• Fraud
• Identity theft
• Theft
• Possession of Stolen Property
• Possession of Stolen Vehicle
• Forgery
• Possession of Credit Card Without Cardholders Consent

How you are charged in any of the above will depend on the nature of the crime, the value of what was stolen, and any aggravating factors involved such as the use of force or weapons. In less serious offenses, such as proven shoplifting from a retail store, you may be able to walk away without a conviction if you pay restitution and complete an educational program about theft crimes. In more serious crimes, such as where a large amount of money or property is alleged to be stolen, you may be facing the prospect of decades in Nevada State Prison.

If you are convicted of a misdemeanor or felony theft crime, aside from any criminal penalties such as jail or prison, fines, and restitution, you will be left with a permanent criminal record. A black mark on your record can be damaging to your future. For instance:

• A potential employer may not hire you based on a theft conviction.
• You may be ineligible for certain state professional licenses.
• Your criminal record may hamper your ability to rent an apartment when a landlord or leasing company runs a routine background check on you.
• Your reputation and social standing may suffer.

For all of these reasons, you should seek legal counsel with a documented history of success. The attorneys at Hofland & Tomsheck are well-known and well-respected in the Las Vegas legal community. They have long-standing professional relationships with local judges and have conducted numerous jury trials and bench trials. That is the kind of track record you want in criminal defense.
