Felony Theft

Being arrested and charged with theft in Colorado can be an overwhelming and frightening experience. Depending on the value of the property involved, theft charges in Colorado range from misdemeanors to serious felonies, with penalties that can include:

• Up to 6 months in jail for petty theft (property valued under $300)

• Up to 18 months in jail for class 1 misdemeanor theft (property valued up to $2,000)

• 1 to 24 years in prison for felony theft (property valued over $2,000), plus substantial fines and restitution

A conviction for theft can also mean probation, loss of future employment opportunities, and a permanent criminal record that can follow you for life.

That’s why it’s critical to have an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side—someone who understands how to challenge the evidence, protect your rights, and fight for the best possible outcome.
