Consequences of a Burbank Theft Conviction
Any theft charge is serious. While theft violations range from infraction to felony offenses, any conviction for theft can have a life-long impact. A theft conviction is considered a crime of moral turpitude. A background check by an employer which reveals a conviction for a crime of moral turpitude,such as petty theft or shoplifting, will likely result in the end of that employment possibility for the convicted person.
There are options for some Burbank Theft Cases. In a limited number of situations, theft charges can be dismissed at the Burbank Court. A person charged with a Burbank Theft may be considered for APPS or City Attorney Diversion, which would provide an opportunity to a person accused of theft to receive a dismissal upon completion of community work and/or counselling classes.
Your Burbank Theft Attorney should be familiar with all available options with your Burbank Theft charge. Eary intervention can be critical to enable a person to be considered for each and every possible theft charge alternative. Once a person has been convicted of theft, in many cases, the theft charge can be expunged after certain terms and conditions have been met.
