The dollar amount on a theft charge changes everything about it.
Utah theft charges range from a minor misdemeanor to a felony, largely based on the value involved. Dallin has worked as a prosecutor, a public defender, and now private counsel. He reviews how that value was calculated and builds a defense suited to your case.

How the value is calculated can move the whole case.
Theft charges are classified largely by the value of what's alleged to have been taken — and that value isn't always calculated the way you'd expect.
What something is “worth” is often disputable
The dollar figure driving your charge level isn't always accurate or fairly calculated. Dallin reviews how that number was reached and whether it can be challenged.
This can follow the case even after it resolves
Beyond the criminal case, restitution can be ordered separately. He explains what's realistic here so you're not caught off guard later.
