Property Crimes

Accused of a Property Crime? Our Albany Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Protect Your Rights

As the term indicates, a property crime is a crime that affects someone’s material property, as opposed to a violent crime (which harms someone physically) or a white collar crime (involving illegal financial transactions). A property crime may include one or more of the following:

In general, the greater the dollar value of the physical property involved, the higher the criminal charges and potential penalties. Property crimes involving weapons or violence will most likely bring additional charges. An experienced property crimes attorney on your side can help ensure that you are not convicted of a crime that cannot be verified by evidence from law enforcement agents or the prosecutor.

Defending Albany Residents Charged With Property Crimes

The facts of each case will help determine the most promising defense strategies, which may include one or more of the following:

  • Bringing in computer forensic specialists
  • Evaluating evidence, such as surveillance camera video
  • Challenging identification or chain-of-custody allegations of law enforcement

Virtually every defendant in a property crime case has objectives such as avoiding jail time, reducing charges, reducing penalties and, if possible, case dismissal. The Law Office of James E.

Hear What Our Clients Have To Say

I hired Mr. Tyner last summer. Very receptive, communicated well, did everything that needed to be done, and wound up never having any charges filed after he helped out. Worth the money for peace of mind.
