Property Crimes
Property crimes are shoplifting, petty or grand larceny, bouncing or forging checks, burglary, embezzlement/employee theft, auto theft, receiving stolen goods, criminal trespass, criminal damage to property, arson, or vandalism. The need for a good defense attorney is crucial when handling allegations of such crimes. Property crimes do NOT involve force or threat of such against a victim. In 2008, there were over 388,000 property crimes in Georgia. This category had the highest number of crimes for the population. Obviously this is a serious issue, and one that needs representation and the defense of an attorney.
