What is Petty Theft?

Los Angeles, Orange County and Ventura Petty Theft Defense Lawyer

What is petty theft? California law considers theft of property with a value of $400 or less as "petty theft," a misdemeanor. Does that mean the petty theft misdemeanor charges are unimportant? NO. Any criminal charge becomes a part of your criminal record and can affect career opportunities, professional licenses, and your reputation.

Petty theft charges can also result in punishment - jail time, fines, and restitution. Don't take chances. Get a petty theft attorney who will be 100 percent on your side.
