A conviction for a theft charge, including credit card fraud, identity fraud, and embezzlement, can stick with you for the rest of your life. Potential employers, apartment complexes and colleges will often view even a misdemeanor theft charge harshly and your opportunities may be limited with a conviction on your criminal record. You will be barred from employment in certain fields (for example, banking, law enforcement, accounting, health care and nursing). If you have been arrested on theft charges, it is important to have an experienced Wilmington theft and robbery defense lawyer who will vigorously defend your rights.
