Serious Charges With Serious Penalties

Automobile Theft Attorney in Glendale, Arizona

In Arizona, theft of means of transportation, also known as automobile theft or grand theft auto, is strictly enforced and strongly penalized. A person may be charged for a felony car theft for driving a vehicle that is not his or hers without the owner's consent or for riding in a vehicle that a person was not aware of as stolen. Auto theft is a felony under Arizona state law and a conviction of felony car theft can often mean a lengthy prison sentence.

If you or a loved one has been arrested for automobile theft, you need to contact an experienced attorney before you speak with the police. The Law Offices of Wendy Reasons will present you with your options and let you know what you can expect out of the legal process.

In many cases, I have been able to reduce convictions from felony car theft to a misdemeanor, saving clients jail time, or to get charges dismissed. Contact me at 602-277-1534. I am available by telephone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so that clients can reach me whenever they are facing criminal charges.

Knowledge of a Stolen Vehicle

In Arizona, all the state must prove is that a person was in control of a vehicle and that he or she knew or had reason to know that it was stolen. Many people cannot tell if a vehicle has or has not been stolen, but even as a passenger in a stolen vehicle, a person may be charged with unlawful use of means of transportation. The state will use items such as a cracked steering column or wrong license plate on the car to prove that a person had reason to know that a car was stolen.

There have been many cases in Arizona where people with no criminal history who have been law-abiding citizens are charged with riding in a stolen vehicle. Do not let yourself be convicted on a felony car theft or other related charges before talking to an experienced attorney.
