Maryland Theft Offense Charge Attorneys: 40 Years of Combined Experience
What makes theft charges particularly serious is that they are considered crimes of dishonesty.
A conviction for a theft crime calls into question your ability to testify under oath for 15 years after said conviction. You can be impeached, meaning the credibility of your testimony is called into question as a result of being deemed a “dishonest person.”
Even a minor petty theft conviction can result in an individual’s inability to obtain or maintain any employment that involves currency — even working as a cashier.

When we first met with Craig at his office I was very impressed with his knowledge of the inner workings of the law but I didn't think we could afford such a great attorney. However, Craig worked with us on his fees and I am very happy with the outcome of our case. Thank you, Craig!" — Mike Schneider
Frequently Asked Questions
Is misdemeanor theft a serious crime?
Yes. Even misdemeanor theft is considered “moral turpitude,” a crime which, if you’re convicted, calls into question your ability to tell the truth. Theft convictions carry many far-reaching consequences including not being able to testify credibly in court, losing any administrative license(s), not being able to pass a background check, and not being able to work in a money-handling position (including as a cashier).
Is theft simply taking something from another that is not yours?
No, theft encompasses much more than simply taking something from another that does not belong to you. For instance, theft also includes forgery, uttering (passing counterfeit money or checks), credit card fraud, and identity theft.
Is not returning something considered theft?
Yes. If you took something from another person with the intent of not returning it, even if you had permission when the item was taken, it can be considered theft under Maryland law.
