How Can Disputing Property Value Be Used as a Defense to a Grand Larceny Charge?

Property value often determines the degree of a grand larceny charge. New York uses value thresholds to distinguish between felony levels. If the prosecution overstates the value of the property, it may seek a more serious charge and a higher potential sentence than the facts support.

A defense lawyer can review appraisals, receipts, market value, condition, depreciation, repair costs, and the method used to calculate the alleged loss. Disputing unsupported or inflated valuations may reduce the level of the charge or weaken the prosecution’s case.
