Orange County Theft Defense Attorney

There are different levels of theft charges that people may face. Larceny, robbery, identity theft, and fraud are all different types of theft and they all go by many names. However, it is important that the Orange County theft defense attorney you have is prepared to face any of the charges with you.

What Is Theft

Johnson Criminal Law Group is prepared to be your Orange County theft defense attorney no matter what type of theft charge you may be facing. Theft seems like a relatively simple charge people face, but there is more to it than just stealing something that isn’t yours. Larceny is a form of theft charge that encompasses theft of anything that is under $950 in value. You may be charged with petty theft, shoplifting, or grand theft and all of them may qualify as larceny depending on jurisdiction and value. Robbery is similar to larceny except threats are used to commit a theft. Robbery is also known as strong arm robbery or armed robbery and unlike larceny, robbery is a felony charge. Identity theft is becoming more and more common and it only goes by one name, identity theft. The same can be said about fraud. However, fraud is the act of trying to deceive someone or an entity for monetary gains; value of monetary gains doesn’t matter.

Consequences of Theft

You can easily see why having the best Orange County theft defense attorney is important. There are many different names and charge types that you may be facing. Things can get confusing and adding consequences to the mix makes it even worse. In fact, the consequences vary greatly depending on the specific circumstances of the accusations. For example, petty theft can come with up to six months in jail as well as a fine of $1,000 or less. However, a prior will change the charge from a misdemeanor to a felony with up to three years in jail.

Lauren Johnson-Norris would be my first recommendation to any of my family or friends similarly in need of legal assistance.

Heather, a Juvenile client

Thank you, Ms. Johnson-Norris, for your help and support in a very scary, bad time in my life! You were a ray of sunshine in a very dark place. I didn’t have to step foot in a courtroom once; Ms. Johnson-Norris was there for me.

If you need a great attorney that will work for you and with you, then I would highly recommend you hire Lauren Johnson-Norris!

J.B., a criminal client

Ms. Johnson-Norris was very effective in dealing with a juvenile criminal charge, getting it routed to a diversion program, minimizing court appearances, and being supportive to both my son and me.

Keith, a Juvenile client

Lauren Johnson-Norris changed my life and my family’s in September 2014. I was a troubled young girl with some convictions on my record from my early adult life. I have grown older and changed my life but my past kept rearing its ugly head. I started researching expungement and found Ms. Johnson-Norris, and I am so glad I did. She treated me like a person and as I told her about myself she really engaged in my situation and I felt I was not some number to her but a real person. She expunged two felonies I had. One of them the courts did not want to expunge, but Ms. Johnson-Norris would not take no for an answer and fought for me! She always kept me posted on what was going on. I believe God led me to her. She is very talented and knows what she is doing. She is extremely professional and is not only after your money. She has a heart under her tough Lawyer position that she does so well. She cleared my record and gave me hope for my future, my husband’s and my son! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER. If you had a rough past and are trying to change your life. Go see Ms. Johnson-Norris; she knows what she is doing.

A.M., a criminal client

I want to thank Ms. Johnson-Norris, especially, for all her help during this difficult time. When we could not see the end of the tunnel, she helped us and guided us through the exit. Thank her not only for her professional help but for her emotional and sympathetic support. God bless her.

Criminal Defense FaQ

What immediate steps will you take to protect my rights?

We provide immediate crisis command by reviewing the allegations against you and intervening with law enforcement to prevent further exposure. From the moment you retain the Firm, we act as your shield, managing all communications and executing a decisive strategy to protect your liberty and reputation.

We prioritize discretion and exposure management. We understand that a public allegation can be as damaging as a conviction; therefore, our strategy focuses on minimizing the visibility of your case while challenging the prosecution’s narrative to preserve your standing in the community.

We begin by meticulously reviewing the allegations to determine if the conduct even constitutes a crime under the law. We then scrutinize the prosecution’s evidence against the highest standard — proof beyond a reasonable doubt. By analyzing the “who, what, when, where, and how,” we identify the natural questions a jury will have, allowing us to build an expert strategy that derails the prosecutor’s narrative.
