Attorneys at Martin & Kent L.L.C. are experienced criminal defense attorneys who provide legal trail experience for those charged with burglary, robbery, petty theft, grand larceny, car theft, shoplifting, and receipt of stolen property or trafficking of stolen property.

Theft charges can be filed against any person who took personal property belonging to another, without permission, and without intent to pay for it.  Many theft charges are the results of misunderstandings or arise out of arguments over rightful ownership, but also include the very serious charges such as robbery arrest, larceny charges, burglary charges, and possession and sale of stolen goods.

Robbery – robbery is defined as theft or larceny of possessions or money using physical force or verbal threats against the victim.  If a deadly weapon like a gun is used or the victim suffers injury from the incident, the robbery can be charged as an armed robbery or aggravated robbery.

Burglary – burglary is typically defined as the unlawful entry into almost any structure (not just a home or business) with the intent to commit any crime – not just theft or larceny.  No physical breaking and entering is required; the offender may simply trespass through an open door.  Unlike robbery, which involves use of force or fear to obtain another person’s property, there is usually no victim present during a burglary.
