Understanding Theft Crimes in Colorado

In Colorado, theft crimes encompass a range of offenses involving the unlawful taking of another’s property. The severity of the charge often depends on the value of the stolen property, with penalties ranging from misdemeanors for petty theft to felonies for grand theft. Factors such as prior convictions and the circumstances of the alleged theft can also influence the charges and potential sentences.

The Theft Crime Defense Process

In Colorado, the process for dealing with theft crimes typically involves several key steps:

1. Arrest: If you are accused of theft, law enforcement may arrest you.
2. Charges: The district attorney will file formal charges against you.
3. Preliminary Hearing: A hearing may be conducted to determine if there is enough evidence to proceed with the case.
4. Plea Bargaining: Your attorney may negotiate a plea deal to potentially reduce the charges or penalties.
5. Trial: If no agreement is reached, your case will go to trial where both sides present evidence.
6. Sentencing: If convicted, the court will determine your sentencing based on the severity of the crime and other factors.

Our attorneys guide you through each phase, ensuring your rights are protected and every avenue of defense is explored.
