Protective Advocacy in Theft and Financial Fraud Cases
Every criminal charge is unique, and every criminal defendant deserves a custom-built defense strategically designed to have the greatest chance of minimizing negative consequences.
This is especially true in the case of theft charges. Every theft crime is different. Charges involving petty theft in a shoplifting case are different than embezzlement charges accusing a corporate employee of siphoning off company funds on a grand scale.
At the Moorestown, New Jersey law firm of Attorneys Hartman, Chartered, we have the breadth and depth of criminal defense experience to build smart and practical defense strategies for individuals facing any type of theft or embezzlement charges. We are a family owned law firm that has operated in south Jersey since 1981. Our attorneys have more than 75 years' combined criminal law experience — decades of work on disorderly persons and indictable cases from which each client of the firm benefits. Contact us to schedule a consultation.
Investigation to Find Witnesses or Chase the Paper Trail
We will tailor our investigation and defense to match the type of charges you face.
With theft charges — including burglary or robbery charges — much of our investigation revolves around witness interviews, as well as independent evaluation of the value of the allegedly stolen goods. Sentencing in theft charges cases depends on a number of factors, but the value of the stolen goods is one of the most important considerations.
When a client faces embezzlement charges — or is charged with any other type of white-collar crime — our investigation is very different. First of all, we prefer early intervention. Every person has the right to a legal representative at any stage in an in-house or criminal investigation. At the first sign that you are under investigation and may be facing embezzlement charges, seek legal counsel. Hiring a criminal defense attorney does not signal guilt. It signals intelligence and a desire to protect yourself from mistakes and groundless criminal charges.

We strive to give each client the strongest possible defense. Contact us today to learn more about our criminal defense practice and how our lawyers can help. The initial consultation is free of charge, and all appointments are held in the strictest confidence.
