Auto Theft Lawyer in Solano County

Vacaville Criminal Defense Attorney Serving Benicia, Fairfield, Dixon, Vallejo & Rio Vista

Under California law, there are various offenses concerned with auto theft. The most serious is Grand Theft Auto. There are a number of different factors taken into consideration when deciding on how you will be charged. If your intention was to permanently deprive the owner of the vehicle from his property, you could be charged with Grand Theft Auto. Temporarily taking or driving someone's car is a violation of California's Vehicle Codes and may result in a lesser charge.

There are subsequent theft crimes that you could be charged with in addition to the above. Such offences include burglary and robbery, or in the case of stealing a car that was entrusted to you by its owner, an embezzlement charge may apply. A skilled Solano County criminal defense attorney will be able to fully investigate all of the charges that were brought against you and prepare a thorough defense strategy that is individualized to your specific case. At Petty and Warshawsky, Attorneys at Law, we strongly encourage you to retain the services of a competent lawyer instead of trying to defend yourself. This can make a tremendous difference toward a successful outcome for your case.
