Grand larceny is a serious felony charge in New York that involves allegations that you unlawfully took someone’s property valued at more than $1,000. Depending on the amount and nature of the property, charges can range from Grand Larceny in the Fourth Degree (a Class E felony) to Grand Larceny in the First Degree (a Class B felony), which carries the potential for significant prison time.
A criminal defense attorney can thoroughly investigate the allegations, examine the evidence, and work to expose weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. In fact, it is not uncommon for grand larceny charges to result from just a simple misunderstanding or a mistake.
Under certain circumstances, the charges can be dismissed or reduced. Additionally, sometimes alternatives to incarceration can be worked out – such as restitution or diversion.
If you’re facing grand larceny charges, it’s essential to have a diligent criminal defense attorney by your side. A conviction can have life-altering consequences, including a criminal record.
