Covington Theft Charge Attorneys

Criminal Defense Services for Theft Charges

In both Kentucky and Ohio, the seriousness of theft charges depends on the value of the property stolen and on other factors, including whether a weapon was used during the commission of the crime.

At Fox & Scott, PLLC, located in Covington, Kentucky, we attack every aspect of the prosecutor's case when defending theft charges. We conduct our own independent examination, seeking to undermine the testimony of opposing witnesses, uncover improper police procedures, and make sure our clients' constitutional rights are respected throughout the entire process.

If you have been arrested on any type of misdemeanor or felony theft charge — including shoplifting, writing bad checks, burglary or robbery — contact our experienced criminal defense attorneys today. The sooner we get involved, the more time we have to conduct an investigation and build the strongest possible defense on your behalf.

Many petty theft crimes can be resolved through diversion or agreed dismissals with payment of restitution.

Do Not Talk to the Police Without a Lawyer

You really do have the right to remain silent. If you are arrested or questioned on theft charges, contact a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. Police officers are not on your side, but we are. Give the police basic identification information, without explanation, and insist on your right to contact a lawyer. Our criminal defense lawyers are accessible 24 hours a day, and we offer free initial consultations.

A No-Nonsense Approach to the Law in Criminal Defense Cases

Unlike some lawyers, at Fox & Scott, PLLC we don't sugarcoat the truth. We give our criminal defense clients the benefit of a no-nonsense evaluation of their circumstances and realistic legal options. This is true in our first meeting and in every subsequent point at which a decision must be made about how to proceed.

The "reality talk" is a critical stage in our relationship with our clients. We describe, in straight terms, what we can and cannot accomplish on their behalf. We believe that we give a better service to our clients by telling them what they need to hear, rather than what they want to hear.
