Theft Crimes and Your Immigration Status – What’s at Stake
Crimes of this nature encompass a range of felony offenses and misdemeanor crimes, including shoplifting, employee theft, stolen checks, embezzlement, credit card theft, identity theft, robbery, and burglary.
You will likely be targeted with removal if there is evidence that you committed a crime of moral turpitude or an aggravated felony crime, and to prevent this outcome you must take action as early as possible.
An arrest for theft results in serious criminal penalties, including jail or prison, fines, probation and community service. The severity of the charges will depend on the type and amount of property stolen, its value and whether or not the theft involved an organized criminal activity.
If you have been charged with a theft crime in Mecklenburg County or Union County, a counselor at law Johnson & Nicholson can review your case and explain available defense options to you in detail.
