We Defend a Wide Range of Theft-Related Charges in Louisiana

Not all theft cases are the same—but they all deserve a strong defense.

We represent people accused of:


  • Theft of goods (including shoplifting and employee theft)
  • Felony theft (based on value of stolen property)
  • Auto theft or unauthorized use of a vehicle
  • Burglary of homes, businesses, or vehicles
  • Attempted burglary or possession of burglary tools
  • Robbery or armed robbery (often charged separately)
  • Receiving stolen property
  • False accusations made during disputes or misunderstandings

Whether your case involves a few missing items or a major allegation, we approach it with the same focus: find weaknesses in the state’s case, protect your record, and fight for the best possible result.

Theft Charges Aren’t Just About Jail—They’re About Your Future

Even a misdemeanor can affect your job, your record, and your reputation.

Depending on the charge, you could be facing:


  • Jail or prison time
  • Probation and community service
  • Restitution to the alleged victim
  • Permanent criminal record
  • Difficulty passing background checks or securing housing
  • Loss of professional licenses or immigration status

We work to resolve cases in ways that protect your long-term future—whether that’s through dismissal, pretrial diversion, reduced charges, or expungement eligibility down the line.

FAQs About Theft & Burglary Charges

  • What’s the difference between theft and burglary?

    Theft means taking something that isn’t yours. Burglary means entering a structure (home, business, or vehicle) with intent to commit a crime—even if nothing was stolen.

  • Is burglary always a felony?

    In most cases, yes. Louisiana takes burglary very seriously—especially if it involves forced entry or happens at night. But there are defenses, and we know how to use them.

  • Can I be charged for being with someone who committed theft?

    Yes—but the state has to prove you knowingly participated. We’ve helped clients beat charges based on weak associations and guilt by proximity.

  • What if it was just a misunderstanding or mistake?

    That happens more than you’d think. We dig into the facts to show intent (or lack of it), resolve disputes quickly, and push for dismissal or reduction when possible.

  • Can I clear this off my record?

    If charges are dropped or reduced, you may be eligible for expungement. We’ll walk you through that process if your case qualifies.
