Property Crimes

Property Crimes Lawyer in New York

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:

  • Burglary
  • Robbery
  • Shoplifting
  • Theft of any variety
  • Destruction of government property (such as computer hard drives)
  • Obstruction of justice by shredding documents
  • Arson
  • Vandalism

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 lawyer 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.
