Receiving Stolen Property Charges Lawyer in Kansas City
Receiving stolen property is a serious offense, whether charged as a misdemeanor or felony. In many cases, someone who is alleged to have committed this crime may not even know the property in his/her possession was stolen. When you had no idea, should you face criminal charges? Unfortunately, many do. This could result in fines, jail time, a criminal record and more if you are found guilty. It is critical to work with a seasoned Kansas City criminal defense lawyer when charged with or under investigation for any crime. To protect your legal rights and freedom, we urge you to contact The O’Connor Law Firm now.
Misdemeanor and Felony Receiving Stolen Property Charges in Kansas City, Missouri
Misdemeanors are generally considered less serious than felony charges, and result in lighter punishment. What are the differences between the two when it comes to receiving stolen property?
Class A misdemeanor charges usually result when the value of the stolen goods the defendant received is valued at under $500. If convicted, penalties include a fine of up to $1,000 and/or a maximum of one year in jail.
Class C felony charges usually result in cases where the value of the stolen property the defendant received ranges between $500 and $25,000. In this case, those found guilty will face a fine of up to $5,000 and/or a maximum of seven years in jail/prison.
Either way, the impact to your freedom and life is serious. Your reputation and career may be in jeopardy, as well as employment opportunities. A criminal record affects your life far more than you could imagine, which is why it is imperative to consult with a capable KC defense attorney.
