Plano Theft Crimes Attorneys

Theft Crimes Are More Serious Than You May Think

There are four types of criminal convictions that will affect your long-term ability to obtain employment:

• Any Felony offense
• Sex offenses
• Violent offenses
• Theft offenses (often called "crimes of moral turpitude")

I. Felony: Employers know that if they hire a convicted felon and he/she misbehaves, they are going to get sued.

II. Sex Offenses: Employers know that if they hire a sex offender, and the convicted sex offender acts improperly towards a co-worker or customer, they are going to get sued.

III. Violent Offenses: Employers know that if they hire a violent offender, and the violent offender later threatens or hits a customer or co-worker when a heated issue arises, they are going to get sued.

IV. Theft Offenses: Employers do not want employees stealing out of their cash register, so they are not going to hire someone with a theft conviction.

People charged with theft crimes need a dedicated and aggressive defense. There is much more at stake than jail time, fines and restitution. Even when caught red-handed in the act, or after an admission, we have helped many people since 1974 avoid convictions for a theft crime.

Just a brief note to tell you how appreciative I am of how effective you were in my Bankruptcy Proceedings. I was never worried because I knew I was being represented by the best. Thank you!

I was faced with a first degree felony, which meant 5-99 years behind bars. It was terrifying. You are not only a great attorney but a very honest man with integrity...you saved my life.

From the first moment I met Mr. Pelley, he made me feel at ease. I was always updated, whether via mail or phone call of court dates and information concerning my case. He did a remarkable job and went above and beyond all my expectations. I wouldn't have to think twice about recommending Mr. Pelley to represent any of my family members or closest friends.
