Fort Lauderdale Petty Theft Attorney
Petty theft is a crime committed when an individual steals money or property with a value of under $300. In legal terms it is also known as petit theft. It is a misdemeanor offense and if convicted you may face up to 1 year in jail, monetary fines, community service and probation. In addition to petty theft charges, if any other crimes were committed you may face additional charges. This can sometimes result in felony charges being brought against you.
