Theft & Property Crime Defense in the Bronx, NY

Property crime charges can hit anyone—a misunderstanding at a store, being accused of taking something that isn't yours, or getting caught up in someone else's actions. These charges might seem minor at first, but they can seriously affect your job prospects and reputation down the line.

Common Property Crime Situations

Retail and Shopping Issues

• Store security misunderstandings

• Security camera evidence

Many cases start with simple misunderstandings at stores throughout the Bronx. From Fordham to Mott Haven, we know how local businesses handle theft accusations and what defense strategies work best for these situations.

Building Your Defense

Strong defense starts with understanding your specific situation. We look at all evidence, from security footage to witness statements. The experienced criminal defense attorneys at Adon Law know what details matter most in Bronx courts and use that knowledge to your advantage.

Immediate Steps After an Arrest

Quick action matters after a property crime arrest. Don’t talk to store security or police without a lawyer. Don’t sign anything or admit to anything. Write down everything you remember about what happened while it’s still fresh in your mind.

Protecting Your Rights

• Right to remain silent
• Right to legal representation
• Right to see evidence
• Right to challenge accusations

From Pelham Bay to Throgs Neck, we make sure Bronx residents know their rights in local courts. Many cases get dismissed because these basic rights weren’t respected during the arrest or questioning.

Long-term Effects of Property Crime Charges

A theft conviction can make it tough to find work, rent an apartment, or get certain licenses. That’s why we fight to get charges reduced or dismissed whenever possible. Sometimes alternative programs or community service can help you avoid a permanent record.
