Theft

Fullerton, California, Theft and Breaking and Entering Attorney

An arrest for stealing does not necessarily mean that you will lose your freedom to jail or prison, or that you will suffer a conviction.  Regardless of factual innocence, we can help.  At the Law Offices of Jacqueline Goodman Rubio, located in Fullerton, California, we have represented clients charged with misdemeanor and felony theft for 15 years.

Defending Clients throughout Orange County Against Petty Theft Crimes and Shoplifting

Many clients come to the Law Offices of Jacqueline Goodman Rubio facing shoplifting charges. A hectic trip to the store with a difficult child or a harried schedule can sometimes result in a forgotten item being placed in your shopping cart and an arrest for shoplifting. Other times the pressures of everyday life manifest themselves in a lapse of judgment, or a desperate act.  Our job is to deal with the facts of the case and defend you against the theft charges, regardless of factual guilt or innocence.  We are not here to judge you, but to protect you.

Aggressive Defense of Felony Theft Crimes

In addition to petty theft crimes, we represent clients charged with felony-level theft offenses. If you have been charged with anything from a petty theft with a prior to robbery or breaking and entering, we will work hard to investigate all aspects of the case. Our goal is to always win.  We will review the police procedures leading up to and during the arrest, as well as evidence against you, and all possible defenses. In the event of a conviction, all mitigating circumstances are explored and alternatives to jail are sought and usually obtained.  In addition, the convictions can often be structured in a way that makes them temporary.

Alternatives to Jail for Theft Crime Convictions

Sometimes, our talents are best used to focus on alternatives to incarceration. For those clients charged with theft crimes from shoplifting to burglary, we explore these options and we find the solution that is best for you. Frequently, probation or house arrest are viable and reasonable options in these situations.
