Who Should I Contact If I Am Facing Both Restitution and Prison Time for a New Jersey Theft Charge?
Contact a criminal defense lawyer immediately. A theft conviction may involve both criminal penalties and restitution, which requires payment for the alleged loss. The value of the property often affects the degree of the charge and the possible prison exposure. Prosecutors may also rely on restitution demands during plea negotiations.
Matthew Cohan and his team review the claimed loss, property valuation, financial records, and proof connecting you to the alleged theft. They challenge inflated or unsupported restitution amounts and work to reduce the criminal exposure.
