Building a Strong Defense for Property Crime Charges
Not every property crime accusation leads to a conviction. With a skilled legal team on your side, you can challenge the evidence and present a compelling defense. Common strategies include:
Lack of Intent
If the alleged crime was accidental, we’ll argue that you did not act intentionally or knowingly.
Mistaken Identity
Eyewitness accounts can be unreliable. We’ll challenge evidence that connects you to the crime and highlight inconsistencies.
Insufficient Evidence
Without strong evidence, the prosecution’s case may crumble. We’ll expose weaknesses to strengthen your defense.
Illegal Search and Seizure
If law enforcement violated your rights during their investigation, we’ll argue to suppress any improperly obtained evidence.
Duress or Coercion
If you were forced to commit a crime under threat, we’ll use this as a key element of your defense.
