Burglary & Robbery
Theft, Burglary, and Robbery
Whether it's theft, burglary, or robbery, these cases require certain characteristics the state must prove in order to charge you. For example, for the state to prove theft, they need to see that you stole intentionally and passed all points of sale, basically walking out of the store with stolen merchandise. Although a lot of times, I've seen people accidentally put glasses on their head and forget they were wearing them, thus not being an intentional theft.
Protect your rights
If you find yourself charged with theft, robbery, or burglary in Houston, Texas, there are several steps you can take to navigate the legal process.
First and foremost, hiring an experienced criminal defense lawyer who can guide you through the legal process, explain your rights, and help you build a strong defense is crucial. Your lawyer will represent you in court and negotiate with prosecutors, working to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
​
It's also important to understand the charges against you, the potential consequences, and the evidence the prosecution has against you. Your lawyer can help you understand the legal terminology and concepts and prepare you for trial, which may include gathering evidence, preparing witnesses, and developing a defense strategy.
​
Cooperation and honesty with your lawyer are essential to building a strong defense. By providing all relevant information and following your lawyer's advice, you can help increase your chances of a positive outcome in your case.
​
Depending on the circumstances, it may be beneficial to consider a plea bargain, which involves negotiating a guilty plea in exchange for reduced charges or penalties. Your lawyer can advise you on whether this may be a viable option for your case.
​
If you believe you are innocent, you may choose to fight the charges and go to trial. Your lawyer can help you build a strong defense and challenge the prosecution's evidence.
​
Your lawyer may also be able to identify errors or inconsistencies in the evidence or circumstances surrounding your arrest that could potentially result in the charges against you being dropped. Negotiating with the prosecution to have charges dropped or reduced may also be an option.
​
It's important to note that every case is unique, and there is no guaranteed outcome. The best course of action is to work closely with an experienced criminal defense lawyer who can help you navigate the legal system and develop the best possible defense for your case.
