Miami Larceny Attorney

Defense for Theft Charges in South Florida

Larceny is a legal term which refers to the criminal offense of taking another's property with the intention of temporarily or permanently depriving them of its use, without the victim's knowledge and/or consent. In Florida, larceny may be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the nature of the offense as well as the value of property involved.

Shoplifting is a form of larceny, as are violent theft crimes such as burglary, carjacking and robbery. Larceny may be classified as grand larceny or petit larceny, depending on the value and type of property taken. The specific penalties that may be enforced will vary in conjunction with the defendant's prior criminal record, if any, as well as whether he or she was in possession of a firearm or other deadly weapon during the commission of the crime.
