The laws in Florida are not only designed to protect people but also property. Theft crimes such as petit theft and grand theft can carry sentences that include probation, jail or prison time and possible restitution. In addition to theft charges a person can be charged with a crime for intentionally damaging another person’s property.
At the Law Office of Laura E. Kenney, we have years of experience as former prosecutors and defense lawyers dealing with these crimes. This experience gives us a keen insight into the strengths and weaknesses of cases. We are prepared to apply our experience to stand up for our clients and to fight for the best possible resolution on your behalf.
