As top defense attorneys in Racine, we specialize in representing clients facing property crime charges, such as:

• Theft, including from automobiles, people, and buildings or dwellings
• Burglary, robbery, and armed robbery
• Criminal damage to property
• Fraud, including identity theft, welfare fraud, tax evasion, and theft from an employer
• Taking and driving a vehicle without permission (OMVWOC)

We understand that being charged with a property crime can be overwhelming, and our goal is to provide aggressive representation to help resolve the case in the best possible outcome for our clients. This may include avoiding a criminal conviction or minimizing the consequences.

To defend our clients, we conduct a thorough investigation and employ various litigation strategies, including:

• Challenging the ownership of the property and determining if our client has a claim to it
• Examining the value of the property and questioning the valuation methods used
• Investigating whether our client actually took or damaged the property, particularly in theft from employer cases
• Reviewing business records, surveillance videos, and other physical evidence, especially in a white-collar crime or theft-from-employer cases
• Interviewing witnesses and analyzing written statements
• Determining if the complainant’s only goal is to have their money or property returned
• Arguing for acquittals at trial, as we have successfully done in several jury trials, including one case of theft from an employer in early January 2019.
