When the value of a stolen good(s) exceeds $400, the crime in the state of California is considered Grand Theft. Grand Theft can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony and, like Petty Theft, depends on the number of previous stealing offenses. Even shoplifting can be classified as grand theft if the value of the property stolen exceeds $400 Grand theft in regards to shoplifting tends not to be a defensible crime due to security tapes, store security, or witness accounts. Because theft is typically not a defendable crime in California, you need a Criminal Defense Attorney who can aggressively defend you by arguing that the theft should be treated as a misdemeanor and not as a felony - which is difference between county jail and state jail. Grand Theft offenses that the Criminal Defense Attorney's represent include:

Commercial Burglary
Credit Card Theft
Burglary Tools
Grand Theft auto

Fortunately, or LA Criminal Defense Lawyers can often help first-time offenders with no prior theft charges reduce their charges and their punishment (as well as conviction). If the amount of the theft was smallish, we may be able to work out a civil compromise in which the client compensates the victim fully for the theft in exchange for dropped charges. If charges have already been filed, it's possible to ask the victim to appear in court and ask that they be dropped, because restitution has been made.
